the kids making a fuss of their old dad...

Well, that's Alex turned 50. He didn't want any fuss, just a nice family (and extended family!) day. So, that's what we had. Usually, I write a little ditty or poem for our family occasions - but I couldn't have managed anything more special than the things that the kids did for their Dad last Sunday. I just kept quiet and let them show him just how much he means to us all.

Gordon wrote, and sang, him a song - which was hilarious and touching in equal measure. Ross wrote and presented a glorious speech before we sat down for birthday dinner. And Gemma, who sadly couldn't be with us in person but did manage to make numerous 'Facetime' appearances throughout the day, sent a wee video which summed up beautifully what we all think of Alex. He is, quite simply, our hero :)
