FEBRUARY

Hi, Kelly Gaulton, who was 13 on the 25^th, I’m sorry I missed out your name in the last edition, but Happy Belated birthday to you.

MARCH

On the 8^th Heather, Paul and Catherine said Happy Birthday to Geoff Rickards and on the 15^th Les Liddiatt celebrated his 65^th with a card to Grandad from Chloe, Robert, Katie and Amie. The same day Ron Latham asked for the flag to be flown for Grace Latham’s 94^th Birthday (which was on the 3^rd.) “I didn’t forget her birthday – only to fly the flag” said Ron. It flew again on the 19^th for Pete Duffell who was 65, and was wished Happy Birthday by John and Marion.

St Peter’s Special Choir had the flag flown on Easter Day “for all the wonderful music you perform” after Dianne and Doug were moved by their performance of The Crucifixion during Holy Week. The 26^th was the 80^th birthday of Audrey Green and there were greetings from all of the Hooper Clan, Dudley, Brenda, Pat, Ken and Vera.

On the 25^th, in Perth, W. Australia, Liam Bird was born to Triston and Jodee. Marie and Don sent Congratulations from “All the Bird’s in the UK” and another newcomer was Jayden John Hogan, also on the 25^th and “Fondest love” was sent from Mum, Jeff, Carly and Matthew (and Max the dog) to proud parents John and Victoria. On the 31^st Perce, Pam, Kev and families all remembered with affection Connie Locke a “special wife and Mum”

APRIL

Up went the flag on the 4^th for Robert Andrews 50^th birthday, with love from Georgie and Sophie, and next day, 5^th, it was up again for Robert and Georgie’s 5^th Wedding Anniversary. They shared the pole with Jenny Peters for her birthday, and for the Thomas Family (of which Frances Barr is a member) as they met for a big reunion in Ivybridge

MAY

We flew the flag on the20th for the staff and residents at Abbeyfield. It was the day of the funeral for their friend Dawn Lewis.

JUNE

The 2^nd was the 2^nd birthday of Sophie Andrews. Mummy and Daddy had the flag flown with lots of love, and I expect Sophie saw it from her window. Happy Birthday. It was the turn of Nicholas Hewitt who was 10 on the 5^th.Nan and Grampy wished him Happy Birthday. Christine Humphries had her 65^th birthday on the 7^th. Husband Norman, and all the family sent their love. Gordon, Cath, Paul and Sandra sent their best Wishes and love to Brenda Heddington on her 80^th birthday, the 9^th. Grace never forgot husband Ron Latham’s 94^th birthday on the 17^th. She sent him all her love and we all wish him Happy Birthday. A lady with a very unusual name celebrated her 80^th birthday on the 21^st. She is Comfortable Jefferies known to everyone as “Comfy”. Victoria Hogan got the “Key of the door”, 21, on the 25^th Peggy, George, Melanie, and John, Carol and Duncan wished her Happy Birthday. Then again on the 25^th Peggy, George and Melanie wished Frank Ball a Happy 80^th Birthday.
