Today is Val’s birthday...............
..................................... and she is 79. Another special date engraved into my heart, never to be forgotten. I sing “Happy Birthday”, well I call it singing, and always wish her a good day. I still talk to her every day, still ask her advice and ask her opinion when I’m cooking anything new.
Val’s Dad was not called up till 1942 as he was a bank manager. Like my Dad he started off in the Royal Signals but unlike my Dad he went on to serve in REME and traveled all over from North Africa to Monte Cassiono, where he lost his hearing, a jeep and his Major.
Keep Safe and I’ll catch up with most of you next year.
