Sorry to hear of the old Lady, I guess they were made of sterner stuff in those days. good luck to her, Hope she pulls through.
Enjoy your Christmas tomorrow,
.

John Sabourn sent me an email, he cannot make it so he wants me to go as his stand in.
I am sure I can enjoy myself just as much as I did at the last party at John Artons.
I will bring the bottle of Glenmorangie, I am not to keen on the taste so I am sure someone will enjoy it.
See you soon, Can you put me up for a couple of days or so, I am house trained.
Cheers
Brian

.I see were my family is today through the kindness and find that tuff times seem to make people kinder

Cappy, Your stalwart mother in law is the salt of the earth. Just after WW1 I went to Bradford to get to know my mother's ten siblings. I think they all 'work't in't mill' and were the most loving, caring, no nonsense bunch I had ever had the good fortune to be included in. Over my MN years they became my family from whom I learnt so much about being respectable.

May your dear lady have more years of your love and care.

Happy Christmas to you all.
Richard
