Just me
Hi Em, For no apparent reason, I’m feeling sad today. Would love to be able to call, visit or message you for a chat. Nothing special, hearing you’re voice would be amazing right now. Think you’d have loved our recent sisters day. Lots of fun had by all. You’d have been laughing at Kerry and …
Where to start
It’s been a bit crazy since I last wrote to you. Dad passed away in March, 4 days before the whole country got locked down due to a virus. All four of us were with him st the end. Took turns to stay in the hospital, then hospice over night with him so he wasn’t …

Sad times continue
Went to the hospial with Dad today for a heart check up. They put his pacemaker up to 75BPM. Didn’t know why it had been dropped down to 70. But his hands warmed up straight away. They are sending him for an ultrasound on his stomach too. They think its a fluid build up. He’s …
Baby boys 18th!
It’s official, we no longer have any children in the house. Corran has been spoilt, rightly so, for his birthday. Party food on Friday with Emily. While Saul whisked me out for my birthday tea. Party in the woods last night. He and Emily stayed in the new shepherds hut. Me and Saul were in …
Times passing
Time is passing quickly, whilst going very slow at the same time. Its really not the same without you around. Miss your texts, your smile, your positive spirit and of vourse your sarcasm. I’d have been telling you all about my new team. Instead, the Vogan mob are getting all the details. You’d have been …
