the secret is FINALLY out

Today we celebrated my little sister's 21st birthday with a small family party and the usual birthday tea. She requested no fuss and resisted attempts to plan a family weekend away - we assumed because it would all be so strange without our Mummy.

But we were determined to do something special as we knew Mum would make a fuss. And as we knew Mum had wanted to take VLP to New York, we cooked up a plan.... she leaves in a few days with her Dad to enjoy the run up to Christmas in NYC. The secret has been killing us but it was worth the effort - one very excited Vic Bic! They will have a ball.

Happy birthday Cookie Boo Boo Petula Parrett.
