    Many thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone xx  I had a Lovely 70th birthday yesterday with my Kiwi family & friends with a special afternoon tea & and yummy, scrummy cake xx

    Today we celebrated Hubby’s life with 50+ of his running & triathlon mates (and kiwi family) & we spread some of hubby’s ashes at our favourite beach there … and we will have a similar event later in the year, for our Aussie family & friends xx …. 

    Hehe, I snuck one fly rod in & hope to use it later this week ;)  You know me too well @Locksley  xx. Hope I catch a trout!  :)

    Dear @arpie
    what a lovely celebration of Keith’s life, and a big trip for you 🥰
    I didn’t realise that it was your 70th birthday 🎉 
    Happy 70th @arpie

    @arpie
    What an emotional time for you - changing decades and saying goodbye to your beloved Keith in NZ!
    What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with family and friends in NZ
    Best wishes and Take care

    Thank you @gumnut (and thank you for the kind words xx)  and @iserbrown … it’s been an emotional journey ….. one of Keith’s best running mates passed away recently (funeral last week) and I caught up with his widow today & we shared some tears but also know that we are strong and are here to help each other thru the tough bits …. Xx

    I had a lovely set of Glass Orbs made up to give to our stepchildren and his twin brother - and they were a huge hit with the ‘kids’ (now in their 60s!) 


    I have 2 for myself …. One for home & one for the camper van, so he travels with me …..

    the light spread from it is just amazing
