    The last time I spoke to her Tris was continuing to make slow progress .. he certainly has had more than his fair share of ups & downs ...

    Thank you for passing on the news LL. I'll light a candle for Diva and her family

    Haven't got anything done since my last post as a neighbour dropped in for a chat. Need to close curtains, put the heating on and keep working on getting stuff cleared up.
