Hi everyone,
I'm still shocked by the news as well, I spent some time last night thinking about the people we have lost from the board over the years and how we build up these relationships without (usually) meeting the people. In particular I remember Squidgy, Pink, Diva and Dumpling and now dear Nelski, all sadly missed.
It was a late start this morning and a quiet day I think. Yesterday I went shopping in Cambridge with Laura and Esther. When we got back Laura took Esben for his 3 year vaccinations, apparently he was very brave.
Have a good day.9 -
So sorry to hear about Nelski. I loved to read her posts, and for those of you who knew her personally, am sad for your loss.

It will be a sadder thread without Nelski and can I say what an absolutely lovely tribute by @London_1.
I was lost for words last night when I read the sad news, but did think about her when I heard James Martin on the tv today.
One of her last posts summed up her humour, and I hope you dont mind me posting it on here
It was obvious she had daily struggles but you could tell she was a cup half full person.
RIP. Nelski x13 -
