Morning all,


What a funny day yesterday was, some friends were coming to see me and then the traffic is so bad it took 4 hours to get here.Cheryl had her two children with her and my how they have grown since I last saw them. We had a lovely chat and they stayed for a good while. I hope to see Cheryl some time soon we are really good friends and it does not matter if we do not see each other for some time when we met its as though we have never been apart. Later today another neighbour popped in to look at my cards and her and her daughter are going to come in one day they want me to show them how to make some cards.
