IRENE'S BIRTHDAY

Hot off the press is this gorgeous photo of my much beloved sister Irene. It is her Birthday today and she's had a few treats which are well deserved. The picture about sums up what she is up to these days! Working hard surrounded by files, computer, phone but of course the many people are missing!

My beautiful sister has always been there for me and we have great chats on the phone and have always written to each other (though maybe not so often these days). We have lived a long way from each other since 1980 and of course distance is huge now, but that has never stopped us from being there for each other and enjoying each other and a good laugh (sometimes about the silliest things).

Remember when we were trying to beat the guys by going up the stairs (they took the lift)........

Remember those games of Chinese Checkers........

Remember sitting outside the Cafe in Schopfheim drinking.....WELL.....whatever you like !

Remember looking for somewhere to eat in Basel? I'm sure you chose the most expensive place just to nark George!

Remember walking up the 'hill', past the horses (and George with a carrot or two in his hands)!

Remember us meeting you in Mulhouse off the train (you were expecting us but we thought we were surprising you!).

Oh so many happy memories, this is but the beginning.

I love you so very much and it is so beautiful to see you growing old gracefully. You are a very, very precious sister.
