Hi Johno Glad you are keeping the chin up, please continue to do so! Val xx Hello Dear Friends I have not been in touch for a while but I thought I had better send a note to say that I am still in the land of the living. My number is nowhere near ready to come up yet apparently (according to Cathy and Mary). Healthwise I am about the same. The eyesight continues to deteriorate slowly so that I cannot pick out detail now. Cathy took some photo's of bluebells in nearby woods but I really wasn't able to see anything except a blue and green blur. That is a great pity as bluebells in springtime were one of my favourite sights. I am trying to be positive however but it is not easy. I haven't even been able to say hello to my dear friend Marlene yet but I am hoping to meet up with her this week sometime. I hope you are all well.
