Thanks all for your kind wishes. Yes, it went ahead this time. I'm back home, have had some breakfast & am just having a little sit-down to get myself together.
F x2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
