Jo-Jo, I spoke to Marian on the phone this evening, and she is still very poorly, and having to take things _very_ easily. At the moment she is getting very frustrated at not having the stamina or feeling well enough to attend events, like the Pigs Ear Folk Ale at Markbeech this weekend, which she would dearly love to be at. I'm sure that anyone who knows her will appreciate just how much she loves to be up and doing, and how fed up she is at the moment as a result of the illness. (Must be the first time I've phoned her when I haven't heard her singing while on her way to the phone! < grins ruefully>)

I read out all the messages which had been received here to her at the beginning of last week, including yours of 22 May, and will be speaking to her at the weekend, and will pass on your new message, of course.

Irene
