Clematis Dr Ruppel

Good day today. Not only has my Clematis Dr Ruppel started to flower, it is also my lovely brother's 48th birthday. The day is tinged with a bit of sadness as well, though, as yesterday would have been our Dad's 84th birthday.

My brother has just started working full time as a quantity surveyor, having been made redundant two year's ago from his job as a project manager, customer support in IT. He decided to return to college to retrain as a QS and has just completed his degree - I'm so proud of him, two years of hard work and dedication have paid-off.

Happy birthday, Uncle Chas!
