Happy Birthday Pip

Hi to all Pip's mates!

I am Pip's sister, Rachel. Recently, whilst scratching my head thinking about how I can possibly let her know how loved she is by all who know her, and especially me, I had an idea.

Pip and Mark set off on their big adventure to New Zealand last week. I am delighted that they have created a great opportunity, but am secretly rather gutted to be so far away from her after my ten years living abroad. Ironically I am now back in Blighty and she has left me! (Joke!)

As Pip will be celebrating her 40th birthday on May 11th this year, and may have her first pangs of homesickness around then, I pondered how I could create some kind of elaborate birthday greeting for her to wake up to!

This is the result.

I have sneakily set up a blog with an email in Pip's name. Once this is presented to her I can pass over the info and hopefully she can then keep the blog running, using it to keep everyone up to date with her new life and experiences.

The intention is to add pictures and information about Pip that her friends can add to as they see appropriate! Hopefully this will evolve into a grand birthday greeting for May 11th.
