My Dear Maeve, yes thank you, our far too infrequent visits to see Ann's daughter & family (her two son's are now 6ft.+) are always fun & we get the chance to talk together in a way that one just can't do on the 'phone. We talk about Jane of course, but with an increasing sense of acceptance that physically, she is no longer with us. She lead a very full life so there is much to remember & celebrate...time does gradually heal, but it doesn't erase.
                      How are the SC members of your Family coping with the appalling weather? There was talk on the news last night of yet more flooding, on top of what has become an intolerable situation for too many. Ann & I have never experienced flooding in any direct sense, so trying to imagine the impact on one's life is virtually impossible. We do hope that your relatives are safe, dry & not in harm's way.
                     Sending our love to you all,
                                                                Nigel & Ann xxxxx
