My Birthday Present

For my 65th birthday present my "beloved" youngest children, Lawrie and Helena got me"just what I always wanted". Well I am not so sure about that - it was a tandem skydive!!!!!! I decided not to do it in the cold of the winter and fortunately today the weather was great. The early fog and cloud burnt off and it was as good a day as I could have wanted. Though maybe thick cloud, pouring rain and high wind is what I really wanted so that I could not jump.
Anyway I did it, feeling scared (or should that be petrified) all the way up, but once out of the plane it was fabulous. So thank you Helena and Lawrie.
