Old Boggy Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Some may recall a few weeks ago I posted a thank you to Mel & Lin for gifting a lovely handmake, bespoke and personalised wallet for Ritchie who my daughter looks after as a PA (Personal care assistant). Ritchie is one of a few Down Syndrome lads and lasses under her part time care. We have known Ritchie since he was about 6, he is now 24 and likes nothing better than joining our family for a meal at our local pub and is quite a character. He is very friendly and gregarious and insists (prior to lockdowns) when we leave the pub, to go round to everyone, shaking the men`s hands and gently kissing the ladies hands. This can take some time believe me. We gave Ritchie his wallet yesterday as an early Christmas present and he has asked me to say a big thank you to Mel & Lin for their lovely gift which he is absolutely delighted with. He wanted to thank Lin in person, but I had to explain that the drive to Tipton from Kent is a bit too far !! So many thanks again Mel & Lin and hope that you both have a good, peaceful and safe Christmas and a happy New Year. Pigeon watch at its very best. Kindest regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Brilliant doesn't cover it. I know Mel and Lynn well and they are the tops but I know they would probably shed a tear over the succes of this present. Lovely story when the worlds media is full of doom and gloom.

I agree entirely , any time of the year would have been special for that young man, but with it being Christmas make it that much more special and the joy it brought is there for everyone to see. The season of goodwill is still very much alive , Many THANKS to all involved and a Very Merry Christmas to each and every one of you .
