Friday.

Today is the eve of Jo’s birthday - she will be 48 tomorrow.

I clearly remember the day she was born, almost 2 months early. I was 8 and a half. My dad seemed to be disappointed that his 4th child was another girl. Jo stayed in hospital for a while, and her incubator had a robin on it. I think it must have been difficult for my mum to come home without her, but Lindsey was only a little over 12 months old. We all survived.

Almost the Christmas holidays…
