Proof that I am still alive! Thanks for all your comments. We all look forward to reading them and it really helps to keep us going. Sorry that I haven't replied individually but by the time I've set up camp, showered, and had dinner, as well as any group chores I have to do I barely have time to do the blog before I fall asleep. We are up at 6AM every day and most of us are in bed by 9PM.
Smile you miserable old Yorkshire sod! Glad to hear you are still alive and, judging by your 9pm to-bed time, staying up much later than usual!
ReplyDeleteHard to smile when you are being held hostage by a giant Abraham Lincoln! Hang on in there Robert - we'll get you out.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to worry you too much but ......
