Thank you, thank you, my friends, all of you. Thank you so much, Hils. Don't know what to say - except - because Hils was kindly very restrained in her posting, I trusted her and I knew she'd get it right, and she did - I'm going to be the one to tell you more now.

I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing chemo at the N. Wales Cancer Centre at Bodelwyddan - it's not far from us and is state-of-the-art world-class, thank goodness. I'm being treated as an out-patient at the moment, and it hasn't knocked me about yet, so hopefully I can still get to Tenterden and Banbury. Being very positive, it's not going to get me, I won't let it.

Thank you all so much for the positive thoughts, I'm sure they're helping.

You're all wonderful, I love the folk world so much.

Vicki

Love to you all
