Happy Birthday Kate - look forward to seeing you both soon. C
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
To my darling wife Kate, I'm truly blessed in having Kate in my life. Kate helps many people living with Parkinson's and runs a quarterly meeting for carers, and a lot more, which is greatly appreciated.
As a treat, I booked lunch at Hayfield Manor.
