Well, its a day early but am doing this now in case I get caught up with work tomorrow. No red roses this year, mum but a wee donation to the RNLI instead... Those roses were a hit last year! We are going to get a Jean Rose bush for the garden and hope to soon fulfil your wish that you would not leave the house.... Dad's pottering on but missing you as we all are and Erin is growing so tall that I will soon be the smallest again. I think you would like her new school photo, she is becoming quite the young lady. Happy birthday, Mum - thinking of you, Love Alison XX
