Thanks again for all the birthday wishes! Two weeks ago I was in London and loved every minute of it.



It was just the break I needed. Of all things I went over there with my brother and his wife (yes I am well aware how that sounds) to visit our 93 year old uncle.

He is an amazing man and is very healthy for his age. We spent 4 days in Kent with him and my cousin and his wife. Then it was back to London for the remainder of the trip.

It's hard to believe that this August 11th will be my mother's birthday and also the six month anniversary of Mary's death. I have been so very lucky in the last six months to have such extraordinary friends and family. I have to echo what I've said on previous occasions that this forum has also been a great asset.

Life does indeed go on and I intend to make the most of it.


..and no, I'm really not a Ford fan \:\)


God knows what my spelling will be like, I've had a cat "helping" me compose this.
