Happy 20th, Bid

At 13:06 this afternoon Biddy will be 20!

She feels ok about reaching this landmark although everyone around her is trying not to mention it in case it gets her down! Everyone, that is, except her brother who said, "...just imagine, it's half way to forty!"

I was living in Greece when I celebrated my 20th. We went out for a meal and when we got back there was a tremendous thunderstorm. I remember standing on the balcony of my room and watching the lightning crackle over the mountains opposite and thinking, "20! At last" and feeling really grown up.

Well, Bid, you have all the best bits before you and knowing you, you will make the most of it!

Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns!
