Nannie and Gramps are really missing you - we can’t wait to see you again and hear all about the things you loved best in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Nicki DoyleIts yesterday for you but for me it's today and bedtime and tomorrow is Sams birthday! Can you work out the date it is today for me? That is wierd isnt it as you will wake up in the morning and it will be yesterday for me 😆. I guess you will spend most of it on a plane but I wanted to wish you a very happy day in case the time lines meant I couldnt catch you on time. Happy birthday Sam! Thinking of you all. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Love to mum and dad. Xx
