Well hello hello who is this mature boy, a mature 8 year old boy that is. His first without Mum bless him. Was always a strange day for us as Ni’s brother passed away very young actually on same birth date as Ollie – so we were always in a mixed minded way on this day – very sad but very happy. Same this time and maybe even sadder as we had to think about his mum as well. But we got there didn’t we Ollie!

Well I think you’ll see he had a great time for his birthday on the last bog I posted, so today opening presents in pyjamas on his actual birthday was almost too normal for him, ha ha.

He did want to say massive thank you to everyone that got him a present and came to his birthday party – you have made an 8 year old very happy so thank you, and a father very proud of this wonderful little man. He sends his love to those he cannot and has not seen for a while in England, Australia and America. And of course the same comes from Amy and me – thanks to all, much love Bri xxxx
