Birthday wishes to your Dad - 93 years old - well done. This was probably the best birthday gift you could have given him. There is something wonderful about the sea - the water, the air, the smells. Lovely photos.

Ach, this is just lovely! It has managed to put a smile not just on the face of the birthday boy, but on mine (and everyone else who reads) too. A tonic of a post: as good as that sea air!

Mary

Ruth

How wonderful ... for Dad, Himself and you! And how fortunate that the weather decided to play along. I'm also now trying to work out exactly where it is you went to ...

This post brought a tear to my eye for sure! It was so special to make that trip for your dad. What a nice thing to do for him. I'm sure he appreciated reminiscing and sharing some stories with you. AND you got a FIRST out of it!

What a fabulous birthday gift you gave him! And it looks like you had quite a lovely time as well. Happy 93rd birthday! Quite an accomplishment in itself. Neither of my parents made it anywhere close to that age.

Oh this is lovely.

I had a phone call with another 93rd birthday Ffriend recently who rang me to tell me this was her present to herself - to ring through her Christmas card list and chat to us all. So glad it was a good day for you all.

My mother who is 93yrs grew up by the sea and has always had a great love for it so I know just how special that day was x

Susanne

Brilliant, indeed. Firsts with ties to "like befores" are brilliant.

Maggie

What beautiful photos and this story brought a little tear to my eye.
