The great day arrives and Kathie hangs up her computer mouse and signs off from RMBC.
After over thirty years with the Council, the time has come to declare that she has reached her 60th Birthday and is proud of it.
We celebrate with a weekend away in a hotel in Kendal. The room has four-poster bed and Jacuzzi, and we have Champagne on arrival. The weather is kind to us so we make the most of it with a lovely drive to Bowness, some retail therapy, choosing of a Birthday Present, and walk by the lakeside.
We caught the last of the winter snow on the hills and the first of the spring flowers by the roadside.
Kathie and I have known each other since she was only sweet sixteen so here follows a selection of photographs from our collection.
