  8. Oh My God. Me, the one who doesn't even cry at sad films is sitting here at 7am in the morning with a tear in her eye. What a wonderful thing to wake up to. I am flattered, honoured and as we Brits say - GOB SMACKED!
    Thank you, thank you my lovely friend. I may be stuck in my cottage for a while as there isn't a door wide enough for me to get my head through.
    Big hugs
    Di
