I know he was`nt at home for the last 7months but god do I miss him.I`m going over to see your dad tomorrow if he`s good I`ll take him out to lunch,h`s been a very brave boy! I have alittle car I picked it at the weekend, it belonged to Glendas daughter Lyn.It`s a vauxhall corsa feels very small after driving my last car, but its in very good condition and has been looked after well. Will sign off now, keep well and enjoy, all my love Hil.xxxx

Hi Loz, Hi Jim, Hope you both had a good Christmas and saw the New Year in appropriately. Colin and I went out for Christmas dinner, it was really lovely. We had nine courses but you could get up and take a stroll between courses if you wished. We had a wrinklys New Year, i.e. stayed in with lots of good food and booze and watched the telly.(sad isn't it), but we at least stayed up to 1.30 in the morning. Back in the swing of work now,( oh joy.). Looking forward to visiting Alan and Sue on Monday. Went for a 2 mile brisk walk today with Colin, still trying to get rid of this lard arse. Well kids that's all for now - catch up with you soon Lots of love Sheila and Colin.
