    Hello Greying and chums, I have been away for a couple of months as the black dog knocked me right off balance and I hid from people in TO and here. Am venturing forth and pushing myself to make contact as you are all so lovely. I've been reading quietly to catch up and am so glad you are back! While you were away it was quite literally grey!

    I'll be dipping in and out as I get back on track. Love to all xxx
    Lovely to see you back from Smile flower-smiley.gif?1292867597 and I :kisses3:
  • And from me too. Sorry to hear black dog was in residence. Hopefully you'll be able to chase him away for a while.

    Good to see you back Hopefuljoy - you were missed. Am I imagining it, or is your DS getting married soon?

    Thank you Upsidedown Bear and INOD for your supportive comments :D
