Belated Season's Greetings

Things have been a bit hectic here, and not in a good way. On Christmas Eve, my niece Zoe was knocked off her pushbike by a passing vehicle and spent most of Christmas Day in theatre having both femurs pinned. She will be in hospital for about 4 weeks. On Boxing Day, I received a call to say that Dad wasn't too well, so we visited him the next day. Then, in the wee small hours of Sunday morning he suffered a bad hypoglycaemic event and is currently in hospital for tests and observation. He isn't terribly well at all, but his message to us is "There's no use in worrying".

A fairly recent photo of Harry.

As you can see from the photo, worrying isn't something that Dad does much of.

In other sad news, it has come to my attention that Madge (White) Harris, aged almost 90, has been hospitalised in Exeter Hospital but has returned or is returning home under close medical supervision. She and her sister Hilda are the only people from the wedding photo of Jack Drew and Madge Dyer who are still living.

Happy New Year 2008 to you all.
