70th birthday surprise

Scott and Laura Webster have been supporting Happy House right from the very start and have visited many times.
Uncle Scott, a keen gardener, likes nothing more than helping in the garden and his knowledge has done a huge amount to help our gardener Chris to improve the yield of vegetables.
Scott receives a weekly report from Chris and  makes recommendations on crop rotation and on solving any problems that may arise.
They are also raised lots of money for Happy House over the years.
Scott and Laura arrived at Happy House from their home in Royal Wootton Bassett on Monday, and yesterday there was surprise party to mark his 70th birthday.
Most of our children are on visits to relatives, but those who have stayed at home were really in the party mood with songs, dancing and musical chairs.
A birthday cake was set the seal on the celebration with everyone enjoying a piece.
Happy birthday, Uncle Scott.
