Half an hour and it will be my son's wedding day
I can hardly sleep
My eldest child. I can still remember the wintry December morning in Swansea, South Wales, when he was born - such magic. My little boy whom I've tried to protect, educate and support all these years, all grown up and embarking on a new stage in life. OK, I admit he is now 27 and 6'4" tall!
He and his bride went to primary school together - how cute several say! But they had forgotten each other until they met again at a mutual friend's birthday party. We think she is great and we get on very well with her family - the whole families have a great time together.
Their children will have grandparents who are Aussie, Iranian, Malaysian Chinese, Hainanese Chinese! What a fascinating world we live in today!
Oh no - Grandad Eric
It's going to be a hot one in Melbourne - thank goodness we are indoors in air conditioned comfort - but with a beautiful view across Port Philip Bay.
One down - two to go! I'm giving them stick since I was married shortly after I turned 20.
