I am sorry I won't be able to come to the meet.

It was all sprung on me too quickly and I have a little work that week-end.

There is also an elderly cat to consider.

just enjoy it knowing it was given for the lovely stories we all enjoyed that you wrote about Fred and his mate.

As AnnC says we thought it would give you the opportunity to go to the meet and have a good laugh, which l'm sure it will be (wish l could go), but the book also sounds like a good idea....its for YOU!!

It was meant for thee - just to let you know we really care.
If it has given you a lift - that is good.

You must write that book when the moment is right - after all the draft is already on here! :-D <3

I am told that there is an embarrassingly large amount of money coming to me from the lovely people on here.

Don't really understand why you thought it might be necessary or, indeed, deserved in any way but I am very , grateful to you and I thank you very much.

I did suggest to Wend that she should send it to the Selsey and District Carers Support Group, who have been very supportive while Fred was alive and for whom we are asking donations rather than flowers, but she insisted that I should have it.

At the moment I am not even sure I can carry on living here as the tenancy was Fred's and not mine. I certainly hope I can because the garden is becoming well productive again and you don't want to move when you have just got your taters in do you?

I can't really think what to do at the moment so I will let it nestle down quietly in the ISA for now. Otherwise I will be out squandering it on bags of washing soda and seed potatoes in my usual manner.

Later, when things are more settled, I may well renew our passports and, perhaps, take a day trip or two. I think it right that I should give some to the carers group as well.

The lady who is making the vegetable coffin topper for me is was the partner in a nursery which has recently been sold. She has a number of rosemary bushes which we will use as table decorations for the funeral in the hope that people will take them away and plant them in remembrance. There will be collecting boxes dotted about for the carers in the hope that they might drop a couple of bob in for them.

Once again, thank you for this totally unexpected, and greatly undeserved gift.

I am wondering if it might be an advance against royalties for that book you are going to be very disappointed about when I don't write it.
