Partying is nice .... giving is nicer


Well it seems a bloody long time ago since we were gyrating in Maryport and bopping in Singapore to celebrate a 40th birthday – or two ;-)
 
Maryport was fabulously cold, it being the dead of winter and foggy – which although that blinking mist obscured the fireworks I’d laid on, it didn’t dampen our enjoyment.
 
Then similarly the weather played tricks on us in Singapore with a torrential downpour of almost biblical proportions – I’m sure a posse of party-goers were out back building an ark, just in case...
 
But if you recall, we did have collection boxes at both parties and your generosity was beautiful.
 
I (eventually) got round to donating the money to the charities and am very pleased to say (after glowing thank you letters from both organisations) that you kindly donated the following:
 
GBP430 for the UK Eczema Society and S$1600 for the Tana River Project in Kenya.
 
Not sure when I’ll be having my first party here in Nairobi, but naturally you’ll be welcome (ahem ahem) and look out for the pics.
 
Thank you all again.
