No, we didn't miss Happy Birthdaying you, my cuppiest of cakes - because it is still last night in American Samoa and the Midway Islands - thank you Samoa Standard Time - so we can wish you a huge happy birthday from everyone at RGN, with the bestest of wishes for the coming year.

You work ever so hard for the site, and your photographs are amazing and we love you to pieces.

And you'll probably get four(-ish) new Rupert fims, in the next year, so that cannot be bad!

*squish*

I once chased my birthday for four hours, taking off from Moscow at just before midnight and then missing it over every European time zone until I landed at Gatwick!
