gilly, hopefully your dh will be treated as he's been admitted! I'm sure we all hope so. Look after yourself while he is in a safe place. Let the others cope by them selves!
marydoll good that things are being sorted properly now. Look out New York!
Just an explanation of our roof situation. That bit of ceiling was due to be replastered anyway. The roofer came the day after we rang him. We need to track down the leak before we can do anything else and we need a run of good dry days to start work on that. Luckily the fall missed the desk. The insurance wont cover any of it as they assume we haven't been looking after the roof!
We were intending to redecorate the hall but it looks like I need to do a plastering course kate as they are nearly as rare as slaters!
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
