A big birthday

I had a “significant” birthday a few days ago. One of the presents I was given was a chinese lantern. My youngest son gave it to me. We lit it late in the afternoon. I hadn’t seen one before. I felt like a young boy again as I watched the paper lantern soar up into the air and float away over the Dee Estuary and away to Wales.

The instructions that came with it said to make a wish as the lantern floated away. I did. Hope it comes true…
