When you have grown up children who live away it’s precious times when you get together, even if it’s a Gatwick airport between flights! For Hannah…. cup of tea and a hug is always on the agenda especially as Chris will soon be fit to fly!. I’ve almost forgotten how to do a post rather than a story but wanted this one on the page!
Happy Easter x

Chris’ open heart is surgery today 12/2/26. My big birthday will be celebrated once it’s over …as he was admitted on my birthday -what are the chances of that…. My wish is to have him safely back to the life we love and today we will be one step closer. We weather storms and this too will pass!

We are back in the UK as Chris requires open heart surgery….we left our beautiful home in Panama, locked in a boat yard. It’s hard to post having had the most amazing year….we hope to be back before the hurricane season starts again! Best wishes to you all xx

My best friends daughter is going bald for Maddy’s Mark which was set up for an old friend’s daughter who tragically lost her life to sepsis. If I’ve supported you please support back there won’t be any marathon runs from me.
