I'm sorry to say it, but I hadn't put an up date up myself just yet as the news I had on Sunday evening wasn't quite as chirpy as that, and I didn't want to spread miserable messages until something a bit more definite cropped up . According to Marian's husband Geoff when I spoke to him then , she is still in hospital, and had been rather unwell a couple of times that day. She is awaiting a transfer to a London hospital as soon as a bed becomes available, and they are still trying to find out what's wrong with her. There's no sign at the moment of her coming out, although Marian being Marian is champing at the bit to come out, being somewhat frustrated.

As soon as I have any further news I'll put it up here.

Old Nic - I wasn't able to pm you, as you're not a member, but I too had printed all of this off and was sending it with a card tomorrow since I had said I would pass everybody's good wishes on. Can you let me know if yours has already gone ? I obviously don't want to duplicate anything!

Incidentally, I think I may take a card down to Lewes Festival on Sunday, and see if anybody wants to sign it, and send it off to her. If any of you are going to be there, look out for me at the Pete Coe, tune, and tune and song sessions during the afternoon, and ask me about it!
