Crikey 21st birthday. I had left the sea & was at university in London but a couple of close friends from my days at sea along with another close mad Scottish friend who also went to uni with me organised a terrific surprise party even got my sister there. We still see each other when we are in UK must say it is as if we have never been away from each other after all these years. I still have the wonderful present of a compilation of photos of the ships we served on hanging in my little study.
