21st October. Trafalgar Day. Today we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death, during the battle, of Lord Nelson, still considered to be Britain's greatest maritime hero. In truth, events have taken place earlier in the year to commemorate this victory but today is the actual day. Beacons will be lit across the country (rain permitting) there will be many formal dinners where the toast will be to "the immortal memory", the Duke of York will be laying a wreath and there is a gathering in Trafalgar Square.
But the 21st is special for another reason, a very much more personal reason. This is the day that I could never forget. This is the day I brought a baby girl into the world.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY!
Yes, today is the Birthday of our wonderful daughter who has always been our pride and our joy. She is loving, kind, considerate, fun , a great mother and so much more.
So, Becky, Dad and I would like to wish you a "computer" Happy Birthday and many many happy returns. May your day be filled with joy and happiness. We love you very much xxx
P.S. Glad you all liked our new tank (pictures posted yesterday). 111 on the map now including me. Truly wonderful.
