The happiest I have ever been...

[Lilith7]

Crossing the Equator when I was ten on the SS Canberra is a gorgeous and slightly weird memory in my fat file of such things. That was a gorgeous ship. The trip was pretty educational for small girl from Auckland NZ. Eye opening. Mind blowing. Life changing.

Thank you for making me open that file.

I used to work on the Canberra in the late 60s as a steward, great ship and it was a shame when it got scrapped but then that happens to everything that gets too old, it all ends up on the scrap heap.
As for being happy was when my children and grand children were born, I was chuffed to bit for months 

Agreed; being a Gran is the best. 

And there's only one rule:  It is the first duty of every Grandparent to spoil outrageously each grandchild at every opportunity!
