My Niece - Thea Rose Redford x x

Created by richardleather 10 years ago
The list below of some things I have noted down over the last 21 months, not in chronological order I am afraid. I have also mentioned a few memories from them (hopefully some might make you smile!). When I read the list below it makes me realise how unbelievably proud and honoured I am to have been her uncle. • Holiday in Ibiza. Her uncles and friends kindly went on a recce a couple of months before to confirm the best spots. • London Marathon - she raised over £10k in less than 2 weeks, certainly got me round even with man flu, her and the flapjack Dad gave me at mile 16 (not sure exactly what was in it but felt as good as new afterwards). I think Athers would agree she got him over the line too. • Alan Curr Thames run - raised £5k thousand and walked the length of the Thames in a week. • Great Grandmother - got to meet and have cuddles with her on numerous occasions which a lot of people never get the chance to do • Won the annual Little Westlands Easter Egg hunt - although I am sure this was rigged • Cornwall - twice, staying in South corner to see the slab where Annabel left Ants to be eaten by seagulls when he was younger. She also got to see one of the greatest views in the UK - "Trevose golf club tennis courts". • Monday tea times with me (when Mum managed to find the flat!). Which I loved. I should have let her chair some of my conference calls I am sure that I would be running the company by now • Birthdays: i. My 30th ii. Dad's 60th - Grandpa Pete. The line to see Thea outside the sitting room was longer than the one at the bar iii. BamBam's 60th - Cornwall where she was lucky enough to witness the most amazing putt - watching her better looking uncle sink one of the greatest putts of all time!!! (that is me by the way but I think that is fairly self explanatory) • Bomber command memorial - to pay her respects to BigPa and stayed quiet as a mouse for whole of the minute of silence • Numerous Weddings • Christmas & NY 2012 - I think she beat Mum's personal best for number of presents for one person previously held by Ants (obviously!) • First birthday - celebrated with Champagne and Kebabs! The only way to do it! • Watching the rugby - Instrumental with her onezy. Izzy will have to help out England for the 6 nations. • Driving the Redford's property portfolio expansion - Thea palace is awesome • Guest of honour at one of Tom Caplan famous lunch’s / all day drinking sessions. Managed to make Dave and Tony look like a couple in a photo which is a difficult thing to do. • Many picnics in queens park over the summer with friends and family • I think there must be literally thousands of photos - Enough to fill 2 photo albums at least, still don’t understand how Dave got a whole page and I didn’t feature in the second one at all. I am working on one of my own!! • Increased the share price of The White company - Kirsty has been named one of their top 10 customers 2012 / 13! • Met her little sister - I am sure she managed to pass on a lot of her wisdom during the time they had together (which I have been thinking on reflection was on a par with Hamlet's, this i really not an insult as it is one of the highest compliments I can give)
