    Hi all thanks for the good wishes. The service was yesterday in accordance with Jewish Law. Loads of folks in the family are sitting shiva but as I am not a blood relation I am exempt. Just being as sympathetic and respectful as possible and doing all the little errands.

    Hope you all are keeping well and I will have a catch up on all the diaries later xx
