sorry that i have abandoned you for so long but family ties are the ones that bind the tightest and now they are loosening a little. my grand daughter has at long last had her operation on her leg and it is mending, she has even taken some tentative steps on her own, what a miracle and a wonder, children are so intrepid are they not? i am also taking tentative steps myself, creating my own business and it is more than a little daunting, with out the benefit of a safety net!!! i will be visiting a little more often in the future and will update on all news as and when it happens,missing you all love julie xxx
