I haven't been around much lately.

Trying to catchup on all the threads that have been posted lately.
I've been away from the forum due to an unexpected personal issue that may even see me miss Lostock.
My mother has been taken ill and was rushed to hospital.
She is expected to make a full recovery but she has to stay in hospital a few days.

There's been some wonderful images posted and interesting threads, I'm just sorry if I haven't replied to any of them.

Hopefully I'll be able to make Lostock but it's cutting things fine.

Thank you so much everyone for your warm well-wishes.
I just returned from the hospital, she's doing well but she's weak.

It put a smile on her face when I told her that my friends from the forum send their love, even though she hasn't met most of you, she felt your love.

Hi Andrew

We’ve just returned from a camping trip and were sorry to hear that your mum has been poorly, but were very pleased to then read that a full recovery is on the cards. Although somewhat late, please pass on our love and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery, and we also hope you and the family remain strong throughout.

Cheers

Dennis
