Hi Martin,
It’s all change for us at the moment. Sophie & her boyfriend have bought a new house and Dan & his girlfriend have bought their first house together… we have an empty nest now.
I hope work is going well for you

Hi Darryl
Apologies for the delay in responding- is an eclipse day a good omen? I do hope so – I could do with things going a bit more smoothly! 😂 Not vintage, but we may have had a small glass with our lunch

Hi Elaine
It’s good to know I’m not the only ‘super sensitive’ one! I’m almost nine weeks post surgery now and still no improvement on my vision – I hope yours is doing better than mine. Ironically, it healed really quickly & was well done, it’s just the sight that’s a worry.
Funnily enough, I have a line in my newest book spoken by a five-year-old who misheard her mum… ‘Patent is a fur shoe’ 😂
Love

Thanks for your good wishes Anne

Hi Heather
Belated Happy Birthday, I hope you had a good celebration.
My eye is still causing me a few issues – seeing my consultant today so hopefully U’ll know what the next steps are after that.

Hi Ann
The balloons looked great – all blown up by my daughter & her step daughter! I’ve been back a few weeks now so apologies for delay in replying

Hi Annette
Belated Happy Birthday for the 10th – I absolutely LOVED your card! It made me laugh out loud.
It is quiet without Dan & Katie but I’m just so happy that they have a home of their own now. Wilfie is actually on vacation with us this week as his ‘mum & dad’ are on holiday – not gonna lie, it’s lovely having him here.
The eye op went absolutely fine, but my vision is not improving so sadly I will have to face another op and then the other one will have to be done as cataracts can cause blindness if left untreated! Just one more little addition to my list of ailments 😜
I hope things are a little more settled for you now
Love

Hi Wendy
I had a lovely visit with my mum thanks – hoping to see her again soon.
I’m glad your cataract op went well – unfortunately, my vision hasn’t improved since the first week so some other procedure will need to be done. I’m back in make-up now and it hasn’t aggravated it which is good.
Love

Hi Karen
Apologies for the delayed reply. I’m sorry to hear about your dad – I’m sure Father’s Day will have been pretty tough for you. I love most of the songs from Les Mis – I cried almost from the start to the finish when we saw the film & almost as bad at the stage show.
To be honest, the op wasn’t pleasant (particularly as it took about twice as long as it usually does) but I’d been really dreading it and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be – fingers crossed for you when you have to have yours done.
Love
