I'm intrigued by your Dad's 'two small neighbours'. Are they of restricted height or under the age of 11? Either way it sounded a joy.

That photo of your old man is class. Makes me smile.

What a lovely way to celebrate his birthday.

Nice of your mate Lester to chip in as well. But then he did seem like a thoroughly nice bloke when I was chatting to him at the last 99p Soul.
