I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Salute!

Salute02

 

Everyone around here knows exactly what was happening twenty six years ago today.  We went shopping in Bath on the morning of the 5th January 1985 and then returned home to take down the Christmas decorations.  After a warm bath I decided it might be a good idea to telephone Stroud Maternity Hospital and late in the evening we took their advice and drove over there as the snow started to fall.

The rest is history.

Happy Birthday Edward!!

Hi Gill
This is quiet amazing as my daughter was born on the 4th, 26 years ago. I remember the snow so well, Steve was one of the few visitors that made it to the hospital the following day as we owned snow chains from an eventful trip through Spain the previous year. It was so cold that year there was snow on the beaches down in Cornwall.
Happy new year to you from a still showery but warm AU
