We thank Fergal in Australia (son of Noel & Eileen) for alerting us to Noel’s special birthday. Noel celebrated his 60th Birthday in Sydney, Australia. ” For the past 70 years,” says Noel, “I have only received presents for one occasion – my Christmas and Birthday presents always coincided!” Now we realise why Noel is called Noel – his birthday could not be closer to Christmas. Here we share images for the splenid evening in the “Clara Inn” including the point when Ursula Pomeroy brought in the superb cake. Happy Birthday, Noel and Happy Christmas to All. (S.R.)
Happy Birthday Dad – I always gave you two presents – Mum must have nicked the other one!
