Hi Emma,
Hope you are well. This is to wish you a very happy birthday for today!! It is hard to believe you are 18 years old now - that's fantastic . I have some presents for you but not all of them yet sorry. I'll try to send to you soon - promise!!!

Things are OK here. Lulu is OK though she has to have some medicine (Neomercazole) everyday now for a thyroid condition that she has. She is fine if she has the tablets but if not she can start losing some weight. It is very common in older cats apparently. Lulu is nearly 16 years old now, so not very young for a cat!

Grandma and Grandpa in New Zealand are fine too. Grandma (my Mum) was over in Melbourne for a visit in March this year. We went to Adelaide for a few days which was really nice. We stayed in the same cabins at Nunyara in the Adelaide Hills that we had stayed in when Grandma, you and me were in Adelaide about 11 years ago. We caught the Overland train between Melbourne and Adelaide. Trfain travel is very relaxing I think!

Hope you are well Emma and wishing you a very lovely and special 18th birthday! Take care and hope we can catch up soon!
Love from,
Aaron xxx ooo
(plus Lulu of course)
