Happy Birthday, Love!

Our eldest's 33rd birthday today, here she is in Brazil with her sister (the one who's pregnant now), when she must have been about fifteen, home from boarding school in England. It's the oldest photo I have of her here. Sorry not to be with her, but glad she's booked to come in October with her family. 

Very proud to be her parents, always have been; love her up-for-it attitude, her unstinting hospitality and love of people, her creativity, and just for being her!

Today's photo is of some flowers that have appeared on their own in the garden, anyone know what they are?

Gratefuls:
- the gift of Debbie's life to us
- finishing clearing all the mess between the house and the gate, looks good, bedding washed and sundried and bed remade, trees watered - ready for the Sabbath
- the folk who pray for us, and shed tears for our daughter, love them loads!
