Nick's birthday

As you can see, Nick's headstone is now in place. We had what turned out to be a celebratory visit on his birthday, if tinged with sadness, because Ben's children treated the whole occasion as a sort of birthday party. Cleo sat on the base of the stone and beamed at us all, while Mia insisted on leading us all in singing 'Happy Birthday Uncle Nicky'. She also sent off into the skies a large balloon; we hope he caught it. Needless to say, this lifted our mood and we felt that we had remembered Nick happily.
