Geraldine has said that I may post the following -

On September 14th, my son, Matt Warren, will be abseiling from the roof of St Pancras Station. He is endeavoring to raise donations for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. His father served in the Royal Marines. It would please me no end if just a few of you lovely lot would care to support him. The website for donating online is -

Ana the online donations are doing famously. The other contributors have yet to come from various sources. A rough calculation is a total of just over £5000, which is half way.

Just done, glad he wasn't up there when I came through last week, I have no head for heights and watching someone up high has the same effect....blush
