Now to this August, 2006, and another celebration, much less noteworthy. Nine members of my family, mainly the children and grandchildren in this country, gathered for my eightieth birthday. Encouraged by the grandchildren, we decided to mark the occasion by climbing Snowdon, up the Miners and down the PyG, something I first did in 1944. Unfortunately, my birthday fell on the bank holiday, so in spite of an early start our party, ranging in age from nine to eighty, was nearly overwhelmed by the huge crowds shuffling up and down the paved path: how times have changed!
