Dear Karen,
So glad you enjoyed the blog and the photographs – it all seems a lifetime away now, but we did have a wonderful time, and are so thankful we booked to go when we did! I’ve had to put my birthday on hold but once things have settled we’ll re think. Do take care of yourself, and thanks for keeping in touch. Love Ali xx

Dear Mary, so sorry I’ve not got back to you before now, but I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos, as I did the one you sent of the mighty cake you made for your friend Lisa. If you’re not on The Great British Bake Off one of these years it will be a travesty! I’m glad your mum has been well enough for you to take her out, although of course all that will change now, and I know it will be very difficult for you not to visit her… I hope you’re still managing to go without for Lent, although in these trying times it’s nice to have a treat if you’re able. I very much hope that you are being careful too as with your health history you are surely vulnerable. I’m on day 4 with this virus, and it’s not pleasant 🙁 Take care of each other and keep in touch, love Ali xx

Dear Kay, thanks for writing to me, and I’m glad you enjoyed the photographs – some lovely memories 🙂 Sadly I’ve had to put my birthday on hold as I contracted the coronavirus at the weekend and am now obviously in self-isolation for 14 days. I do hope you will stay well, and I’ll be posting a new blog hopefully next week.
Love Ali xx

Hello there Merche, so glad you enjoyed the blog and the photos. It’s hard to believe I was ever there, and the world is changing so quickly at the moment it’s difficult to keep up. I very much hope that you stay well and positive. Love Ali xx

Christine, lovely of you to get back to me. Stay well, and I’ll be in touch on the next blog.
Love Ali xx

Thanks for the reply….I understand now…you went to hell and back with your treatment….take care…xx
