Our son will be celebrating a birthday this week. It is always close to Thanksgiving day, so I will be happy to send your best wishes to him! He has always loved music. We were thrilled to see him in a band a few years ago, playing guitar and singing songs that he had written himself! When I heard this song by Jeff Lynne, "When I Was A Boy", I knew I had to share it with you and have it in honor of our son.
(Note: New album "Alone In The Universe" from Jeff Lynne's ELO.)

Happy Birthday Christopher
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma! I will pass your wishes along!
DeleteHappy Birthday to you, Christopher! Just stay the person you are, keep making your Mum and Dad happy and proud.
ReplyDeleteKay, when my sister or I have a birthday, our Dad always gives a bunch of roses to our Mum, since she was the one who gave birth to us. I find that such a nice gesture and took it as normal as a child - was very surprised to learn in later years that not everybody does that!
I love that your Dad gives your Mum roses on your birthday and your sister's. That is truly a lovely thing.
DeleteAnd I will pass along your birthday wishes to Christopher!
A very happy Birthday to your son. I think mom's should celebrate just as much as our children do!
ReplyDeleteYes, we should celebrate as Moms, we did all the work! (The labor! HA!)
DeleteMany happy returns of the day to your wonderful Son!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy Birthday to Christopher! A cute boy and a handsome man.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHappy Birthday to your son and many, many more.
ReplyDeleteThank you for well wishes!
DeleteHis kindness shows through in his eyes, even as a young boy. Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou are very perceptive, Nan! He is and always has been a very kind soul.
DeleteA very happy birthday to your son. Your pride and love for your boy are so obvious through your words...you're so lucky to have him...and he is so lucky to have you and Richard as parents. You all are winners. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lee! YOU are very kind. I don't know about myself being such a winner but my son is sweet and intelligent and hopefully he will forgive me my many faults!
DeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks, John!
DeleteHappy birthday to him! and what a sweet little boy he was!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny! That photo was taken in Eastbourne at his grandparents' house. The little Westie is Barney and he slept at the foot of C's bed from the very first night we arrived. Ah, a boy and a dog, so sweet!
DeleteHi Kay
ReplyDeleteDo please pass on our very best to Christopher. Will he be sampling a few beers for the magazine?
I shouldn't wonder that C. will have a beer or two!
DeleteThanks for your well wishes! You will remember C. from a very early age!
A very happy birthday indeed. If he stuck with the band then I hope it works out well for him. It's definitely one of those things that takes a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteAlas, the band is no more. I think C. was a bit more serious than the other members. C. still writes music and plays his guitar. You MIGHT just see him performing one day, and you will know him from my blog! :-)
