Hi there, haven't been around much lately. Went to Lindors for a few days and got burgled. Trying to come to terms with our losses. Difficult. My wedding ring had to be cut off after an accident and, owing to the broken arm, I hadn't been able to get it fixed. Therefore it was in a box with my other jewelery. The burglars took it along with my engagement ring etc. It hurts a lot. My favourite pieces, however, were left behind as they are set in silver. They only wanted gold & cash. Anyway we enjoyed our Christmas as our daughter came with her family to spend the holiday with us. We had fun. Thanks for keeping in touch Phil, Happy New Year to you & the Memsahib. I send my best regards to you particular and good wishes to anyone else who might happen along. I'm in the middle of preparing my exhibition for hanging on Monday 5th. in the library at Kimberley. (That's Nottinghamshire). I will be taking my easel in for a day so that people can meet the artist. Not sure which day yet but will let you know. Thought the seaside picture of my grand daughter might brighten your gloom.
