Having already recounted some memorable moments that occurred whilst in the company of my mother, I should like to expand on the subject of love, protection, care, and understanding.

We hope to do a more detailed blog about our recent visit to my beloved England, August 1 – 13, but for now a brief hello to the special people who stood up to the plate and thus endeared us to them.

Firstly to the lovely and attentive manageress of JJB Sports shop in my home city of Salisbury, for putting her self out to assist us in our purchases; and to Mickey, also in JJB, a character who you would go to war with and trust him with your life, who made my week with his gift for honesty ~ thank you, Mickey, and we know your upcoming marriage will work, barring some disaster.
