Today's the day...

What a lovely start to the day. I opened the front door to see an enormous Union Flag draped over one of our wheelie bins. There were two more planted in the garden and a Happy Retirement banner threaded through the car doorhandles. Fastened to Gav's trailer was a huge hand-written message. I recognised the handwriting as that of a dear friend, Lynne, who worked at the same school until she retired a few years ago.

I stood on the doorstep, laughing, calling Gav to come and see. Then Lynne turned up. She'd been stooging up and down the road waiting for me to open the front door. What a friend!

(Shame that my camera needed charging so I'll have to charge it then set it all up again to take a photo.)

Thank you all who have left me kind messages. I will be online with LJ and Facebook until bedtime and hope to chat with you here or there. vc_media community is also involved. I'm trying to have a virtual party and you're all invited!

Indeed! Thank you so much. We will have to meet up in Liverpool, some time this summer. :)

Ooh, that's great! (I'm trying to think of something useful to say on the vc_media post, but it seems that my mind has frozen. Hopefully, it gets better.)
