Her is an example of a birthday surprise I received in the eighties! That's me drooling on the right, never believing that at last I have had something(s?) jumping out of a cake.
At that dinner was another colleague and friend, Graham Keay, who has always remembered my birthday ever since. This year he was a week or two late because the Queen's 90th birthday clashed with mine.
He sent me this patriotic tea towel, but only because, as he wrote in the card he enclosed, he could not get the one he really wanted'.
In case you can't read the writing, it says:
"Went into the shop in Birmingham and said to the girl:
Have you got one of these with 90th Birthday Philip Goodwin?"
and she said
"No! Sorry, they sold out on the first day!
Keep smiling and enjoy lots of Happy Days!
Christine & Graham
How can you not be happy when you receive a message like that.
We tended to be happy when we worked together.
Here we are in Venice working hard at a conference!
That's Graham in the back row under the arrow. You'll have to search for me.For Anne, you will recognise Barry.
