Gawd, have I really not posted here since the 20th. December? Heavens. Well there's not much to report really. Our youngest daughter has recovered really well from her operation and goes back to work in just over a week.

A very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to bluespirit_star. Apologies for not getting a proper card off to you, it's been a bit fraught here for a week or so with J's health and looking after our grandson, (calmed down a bit now) and by the time I realised I'd not got to it, it was too late. Hope you have a lovely day with Mr. Bluespirit and Buddy!!
