Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't posted for ages. Shortly after I lost my Mum at Xmas, my Dad also died - on the day after my Mum's funeral of all days. I will be back here, just taking time for myself. Thanks 😃

If you still have a Mum, give her a hug or a text tonight. As of yesterday, I can't do that anymore - and I wish I could so very much.
