He was into birds from an early age I heart my Dad: all round wowzers blazers bloke, word collector, guardian of punctuation, and list maker extraordinaire.

OMG so cute....such a dutiful daughter...happy birthday and many more.
The few times Mr. C commented on this blog cracked me up. He should do so more often.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, great pic actually..
Thanks for the greeting and kind words, Kid. Where does 'wowzers blazers' come from? Is it Croydon-speak, or Wivenhoe slang, or what?
I've had enough of the pigeon now (and, I imagine, it of me) ... can you relieve us both with another entry?
Wowzers blazers - term I had heard before but popularised by Hassan in Wivenhoe.
Well I'm blowed! I only mentioned Wivenhoe in a vain attempt to needle you.
