    Hi guys,

    I've been carp tonight. Had an unplanned 1.3 bottles of wine - sorry to put a downer on things when spirits seem to be so high. Just feeling the reality of our family bereavement and looking for the numbing effect.

    Feeling sober enough still to realise that alc isn't the answer and that part of the human condition is to go through the process of loss. Need to deal with it raw I think and not drenched in wine.

    Sorry guys. Just know this is the one place I can be honest.

    Am gutted to have missed the pics, apart from Fay - get you! You look so pretty and v. slim. All that 'fielding' (forgive me, I'm a city girl and I have no idea what actually goes on out there) has paid off!

    Jo - I'm out tomorrow but dying to see your pic. Can you do a scheduled upload Weds eve??!

    xx
