I am more than delighted and excited that you are able to celebrate my half century - second time lucky, we hope!  

Gifts are genuinely not necessary but if you would like to mark the occasion somehow, please do make a small donation here to Vasculitis UK. This much needed charity does fantastic work supporting people like my mother who suffer from this horrible and debilitating auto immune disease. Thank you xxx
