To my wonderful Dad!
This picture was taken in October 2007 when we had a 'retro weekend' on the Isle of Wight for Dad's 60th Birthday. It was a fantastic weekend, it was as though someone was making sure for us that everything that could go right did!
Dad was telling us a story about when he used to get the train to Ventnor when he was younger, and he used to love the sign in the train station, telling him that he was 294 ft above sea level.
That night we found a pub for dinner.. and what sign should they have recovered to hang up in the pub?
We were so excited, I'm sure the staff thought we were nuts!
My lovely Dad has been quite ill for the past year, and is now going through radiotherapy. But he's doing great, and is putting up with all the 'zapping' that he has to have, with the help of his allotment! He's also a star for putting up with the constant Purple Sparkle chatter whenever Mum and I get together!
Love you Dad, Happy Fathers Day

What a wonderful story...how lucky to find that sign.
Great story and what a lovely way to spend the day.
I love synchronicity! That's a good one! Hope your dad returns to full health very soon. xxx
