I had to do something or go mad. I also did an enormous rug which I'm very proud of. It's in the hall. All my family were amazed that I did them. Sheer desperation.<br />Later on I did voluntary work with children with cerebral palsy.<br />It was great when MTL took early retirement and we could fly away.<br />It's late and I have to see the nurse tomorrow but I'll be over after that.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-29109689862391227822009-09-09T21:08:24.574+01:002009-09-09T21:08:24.574+01:00Oh Pat, what a treasure!
