Oh Gally - what a bitter sweet day - was it deliberately chosen for your journey to Oz or just work out that way? I find it hard to come up with the words as the happy memories must also underline the emptiness and loss.
Bottom linehas to be the happy years, your wonderful DC and DGC and how proud John must have been of them. Hope to make it to "the Kingdom "and meet you one day! In the meantime, have a wonderful trip, looking forward to hearing all about it and pictures!!
Soop please, please , please see Dr!! I am not Galen but it sounds at least like bronchitis and could be pneumonia. You dont want to finish up in hospital - I doubt the waiting rooms would have sofas soft long enough for us alll!
Honestly - it is so frustrating being a distance away and also such a shame I couldn't get to Edinburgh today, I bet they're having a high old time!! (not so much of the old)
