I spent most of that year travelling to Germany every week.

Happy Birthday , have a great day, as best you can in the current lockdown!

Thanks. Going to my mams house for a birthday tea with my newborn and partner. Slightly deviated against the rules since he’s been born after following them to letter previously.
 
Happy birthday pal! You are now officially in the same age group as me 'why did my knee just make that noise' 😉
