I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart all my wonderful friends from far and wide who made my 50th Birthday such a happy and special occasion. I am just so privileged to have you in my life.

Thanks too my family and my loving carers who also made it a very wonderful day.

And last but by no means least I thank my lovely husband Ray who gives me the gift of love and someone with whom to share all these special times.

 The day after this fantastic day was our very 1st Wedding Anniversary, a double celebration indeed.

 Never in my wildest immagination did I ever believe that I would attain a half a century. I am truly blessed.
