    I did put I-T on my list of people I ran Race for Life for, and a few people commented, so must have known the story.

    That's terrific gilligansyle - thankyou on J's behalf for this.

    Yes, Tony's love and presence throughout Julia's horrendous trials with Dacorum Council, homelessness, bankruptcy and all else is well-known here, but the situation now makes it all the more precious.

    Better make the type colour match, Tony.
    Just retrieved phone from gym.....wanted to text Julia and realised where mob. was when ringing myself gave no trackable sound here.
    Picked up a huge feather en route.

    I think I may have met you a couple of weeks ago in St Albans mumoftwins. With orange tshirts and a sexy French chef :) I just read a post by ampersand over on special occasions and everything seems to fit with the lovely person I met that day. I remember stumbling across your threads in the past with your housing issues and all I can think is that life can just be so unfair.

    If I can do anything to help please let me know.

    *hugs*

    Awww MOT and IT and the twins. I am sosoooooo sorry. What a pile of whatsit you have been served up. It is SO unfair for you. I really hope you are able to enjoy your time together and get to do some special things to remember him by.

    How are the twins coping? They must find this really hard. He was and is I am sure such a rock for you....

    I've made the raspberry jam from home-grown biggies, Tony. Suddenly, they're coming on, about 300>500gms a day. Will bring it to you end of week:D.
    Had another visit from peacock butterfly yesterday, on my ankle this time, while I read outside, between showers.
    Much love to you all.

    Tony, have a pic on my phone from Cambridge today to send you - extraordinary busker actually being guitar man and singing well from inside a crested council rubbish bin.

    Gaining huge attention on all counts, many cameras going off and further contributions for same.

    Already a fortnight, Tony....see you early next week[with another book to ask you about, too, I fear].

    Latest news - IT went into a hospice about 3 weeks ago very close to the end, but Drs stabilised him. However, he is now deteriorating again and the Sister said that it won't be long now :(

  • Oh Julia- I am so sorry. It sounds like a wonderfully caring place, and i am sure that Tony will receive the best possible care and love from you all. x
