I got an OBE in the New Year's Honours. Very unexpected but not bad for an Irish immigrant! Do you think they get to see the list in heaven? My dad would be beaming with pride. :D

Dear Tigger, what a wonderful achiement and i'm sure it is very well deserved. it also couldn't happen to a nicer person.
Everyone around you must be so proud, including people that are no longer with us.

I'm sure that will impress James, too..... :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Warmest congratulations Tigger. . It is so heart warming when the people who really deserve them get these honours and dispiriting when celebs and people who really contribute little to the fabric of society are rewarded. Your dad would have been very proud and we hope you have a wonderful day at the palace for your investiture.

Well Done Tigger, congratulations.

Your family must be thinking what a wonderful Tigger you are. :)

We applaud your achievement

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

I think it may have been given for, Tiggers never ending commitment that she has given to the NHS, and for being such a lovely person as well, of course....
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
