Thanks for the hugs Marlene, hope you are having a good time. When you see Sue give her a hug from me please, also all the Trivvies that you see! Val xx Hi Everyone, Sorry for the long gap in my answering your "Welcome to the UK" letters, but a few hours after resting and eating, I upped and left the building to spend some time with my daughter in Chesham who had 12 days holiday from work, a luxury that we seldom get to enjoy together. We had planned to do quite a few things, the main one had to be postponed for the time being; and the next really important one that had worried me since just after Easter was trying to find my cousin who I had been trying to phone from back home since Easter Friday. After trying various neighbours doors in her area in St Albans found out she had been in hospital for weeks and still has a couple or so weeks left to go, we, that's Linda,Tony [my S-in-L]& I surprised her and hopefully cheered her up with an unannounced visit, and I was relieved to see that she was coping OK with the enforced bedrest, we then went off shopping: like a lot of you Trivvies Linda also has the Card Making bug big time :-)))) Sorry for those with Birthday Greetings that I have missed on Gen Triv..... Peter, Shaun and Irene, and also Glennis and Otto's WA ... hope you all had a good time. Sorry that your 89th birthday Johno was a very wet one and not a good one for you ... but I'm awaiting that lovely hug with you and promise it will be a Gentle Comfy one. Calling John up in the Liverpool area on the canal hope you are having a good time sorry the weather is also letting you down. Sharla ... hope your plans to the UK and Italy are going well and hope you get your wish to meet up with the Trivvies. Hope your back is better Sue, and that you had a fairly restful weekend. Big HUGS to anyone who needs them >>(((((HUGS))))))<<.

Having a pretty quiet time so far Val, mainly shopping with Linda, although at the weekend was up in the Telford area [Shropshire] with Linda and G'dau Maria [last year's bride], spending time with Linda's long time friends [my 'adopted dau and son'] Pat and Dave. Hence on Tues when B D said there had been a big Quake in Wellington my reply was "Which One ??" as there is a Wellington in the Telford area . On the way back we stopped and spent the night at Maria and Andy's home in Milton Keynes, and going back to Chesham very early Sunday morn, saw Wallabies and Deer in the lovely area between Dunstable and Berkhampstead, and baby rabbits ..that were dicing with their lives glad we were the only car on the road at that time, so they were quite safe. Have to catch up on family visiting and some research up in London. Will pass on Hugs to any Trivvies that I meet up with, and I'm sure if I do forget they will ask why I haven't done as you have asked :-))))), being a keeper of the Elephants I'm sure I won't forget though Hugs Marlene ```````````````````````````````` Thanks for the hugs Marlene, hope you are having a good time.
