Happy Birthday Walter

I would like to take advantage of the fact that despite it being late afternoon on July 29th in the UK, on the Pacific coast it is now approaching four in the morning on the 30th which now makes it Walter’s Birthday.

It is a special birthday for two reasons. Firstly it is the big ‘four oh’ and secondly it is fitting that his birthday falls at a time when he has achieved so much on this journey that has kept us all enthralled and taught us so much about parts of the world so many of us knew little about before and may never get to see in person.

I would like to wish you all the very best for this day Walter and I am sure Tony will be on hand to join in the celebrations.

Congratulations mate

Jonathan

    Happy Birthday ‘Old Chap”. Unlike most here, I will be buying you a birthday beer at the end of the day. Look forward to it!

    From Marina:
    С добрым утром и с днем рождения!
    Принято считать, что в этом возрасте мужчина задумывается над прошлым и у него появляется желание радикально поменять свою жизнь. Некоторые даже совершают безумные поступки, без которых жизнь кажется им бессмысленной (уходят с работы, продают дом, уезжают в одиночку на край света и т.п.). Но они упорно идут своей дорогой. А может это просто дорога их предков?
    Я желаю, чтобы на твоем пути всегда встречались хорошие люди, чтобы дома тебя ждали друзья и любимые люди, чтобы мудрость лет и твой “ангел”-хранитель Ченгиз вели тебя по извилистому пути жизни. Счастья тебе, The Noble One!
