Mid-September in England is normally cool.  With the winds starting to pick up and a winter chill that grips the air.  People naturally take to hibernation mode.  Leaves on the trees are starting to turn and people are gloomy as they contemplate the moving of the warm season into the cold.  Today was NOT a normal September day!  Man oh man.  Tom, you would have had a smile so broad if you could have seen what I witnessed today.  Sal asked for a miracle a while ago – today I lived that miracle.  It is called the miracle of family and friends.  There was a force out there that shook this world.  With beautiful warm weather, clear blue skies and only the slightest touch of a cooling wind, the weather could not have been more perfect.  People started to arrive dot on time, with Gretta, Ross and Douglas in the lead car, closely followed by Mandy and then Joe, Toni and myself.  After that people came.  People, dogs, kids … the lot!  On bikes and trikes, with walking sticks and deck chairs – and all with something yellow attached.  The photos are on their way … with lots and lots of love, best wishes, hugs, kisses and deep, deep breaths for you both – Tom and Sal.
