Oh dear,

Dick, Bill and I send our love.Having a house fire is a dreadful thing, so much mess and the clearing up is never ending.
I do hope the damage to the house was not too bad,but the loss of the concertina and damage to the banjo must have shaken you up so much. However, as a long time friend, I have to say "thank goodness you are safe!!!!!!" Wish we were not so far away and could help with the clearing up.

I am speaking to Barry this evening and I know he will send his best wishes too, he enjoyed playing the violin with you last year so much.

take care, love and hugs
Wendy
