- Helen's birthday is the 27th May, so she was about the same age as Patricia
- for her first Christmas. We had a really wonderful time that year (and in
- subsequent years) for while she was mainly interested in playing with the
- brightly coloured wrapping paper the rest of us got to revisit our childhoods
- by playing with the toys. :-)
