According to my mother 62 years ago, my dad came home from the office party the worse for wear. Trying not to make much noise, he went up stairs carrying his shoes which he then managed to drop down them. My mother was rather pregnant and I appeared the next morning, all 5lb 2oz of me. The morning was the 3rd December 1952. (A week later the Christine Jorgensen story broke - pure coincidence, I expect).
This rebuts all rumours about my being found under a gooseberry bush, though some might like to see me there now.
(An old photo so imagine my hair a bit greyer and it won't be too far away).

Birthday attire
Well I hope you find something to wear. Showing up in public, naked on your birthday, at least once is more then enough. Granted you were coming out of your bedsit. I hope it brings you new wonderful memories. You deserve them.
I probably wanna know, what I don't know
Happy B-day
It's the third where you are. My granddaughter share that wonderful B-day as well.
Hugs

Happy Birthday. Happy Hols, Merry Christmas, or what ever applies. OH, and have a jolly good Lunch and all that rot, eh? You look quite attractive.
Khadijah. Just sitting here waiting for all my hair to grow back. :)
Happy birthday,
dear Angharad, and may you live as long as you love and love as long as you live.
All the very best,
Chris.
Don't ever feed your Aardvark honey.
Congrats girl!
Lovely image too. You're lookin' good girl and I'm so glad you're up to going out again.
I was in Bath today with Lex and Mattia enjoying the Christmas market etc. Tomorrow I'm meeting a potential buyer for my portfolio then hopefully I'll shed the burden of house repairs and wingeing tenants.
Sleep well and try to enjoy your meal tomorrow. I understand what awful issues it will inevitably resurrect. It'll be something similar for me on Dec 20th (Our wedding anniversary) Thinking of you a lot.
Hugs.
Bev.
Happy Birthday Ang and many
Happy Birthday Ang and many more.
My very best wishes for today AND onward!
You are such a young thing, so delicate and pure... I do have the correct person here right? (Of course, as your elder, I am allowed to call you young. - I - was born 1952 07 10, LONG before you were.)
All the best dear.
with love,
Hope
Once in a while I bare my soul, more often my soles bear me.
Happy Birthday
Yes Happy Birthday Angie And hope you have at least Forty plus more of them Richard
A very merry birthday to you!
Try not to eat too much cake!
Unless it's cheesecake. There's no such thing as too much cheesecake.

Happy Birthday to you and may
Happy Birthday to you and may you have many, many more. Your photo is very nice, and it shows us all a really pretty woman and our most favorite author. Hugs and Blessings to you. Janice Lynn
Happy birthday
I wish you a wonderful day, and indeed a wonderful year!
Thanks for all the delights you have served us up.

P.S. You're only really a young thing - although I was also born in the 50s, you're still younger than I.
Many Happy returns on this your anniversary of your birth.......
you arrived on the scene around Christmas soooo, have a very merry Christmas as well as a birth celebration. Being of the older generation, I remember 1952 as well as any other year (which is not as accurate as it used to be).
If it wasn't so long past my bedtime, I would raise a glass for you - make that a fine single malt - I will wait until much later in the day to toast BC's most famous author!
I was interrupted in my writing as the snowplow went roaring past my drive. I guess winter is coming! Can Christmas be far behind?
Happy Birthday and best wishes for many, many more!

May the sun always shine on your parade
Lying On Your Back
With goosegogs dropping into your mouth (or kiwifruit these days). Life can't get much better than that, young lady. Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, Ang.
Have a wonderful day darling. The sun is shining, so Bath should be a lovely place to visit today.
speak to you soon
Lots of Love

Many Happy Returns.
Hope you have a lovely bath. Just the once each year is it whether you need it or not? Or did I misread your post? Our postman was wearing shorts a couple of days ago and he told me he'd cycled in to work that morning, too. It wasn't actually freezing but it was bloody cold. So there you are - your best cycling shorts and a CTC jersey. What could be smarter?
Thanks for all your writings and for giving me a quiet snigger or even a belly laugh and occasionally making my eyes leak each late evening.

I had a lovely day and the sun shone for all of it.
