Hi

Mum is ........ ok, can't really say more than that. We have carers in place, they are not ideal, but better than nothing. We seem to have got the UTI and other problems in that area under control and improving, the leg ulcers are back to pre hospital state. With Mums dementia it is difficult to assess her quality of life but she does seem to be more settled and comfortable, I think she is more content. Ann and I still take it in turns, looking after her, but I must admit Ann is doing more than me. We have always tended to work as a family unit and therefore it has been decided that the farm needs more of my time so I am concentrating on that. We are trying to set up a new venture on theme farm but it requires huge amounts of work and seems to be moving so slowly. Unfortunately Mums dog, Coco, had to be put down last week, due to old age 16. Mum seems to have accepted this and is ok with it. Then yesterday I had to take my old girl, Grace, to the vet for her last ever visit, she was 18 and had given up. I know she had a fantastic life but am obviously very upset. Caerndy and Monty are missing her aswell. Pam, I hope Gus is doing well, how about an update?

Tomorrow I take delivery of a 5.5 tonne digger which will be put to work immediately as we have so much work lined up for it. Should be interesting as I haven't driven one for over 10 years.

Thank you to everyone for all your support in life, it really does make a huge difference as I live a very insular life and feel sometimes this is my only connection with friends. Also thank you for all the gifts.

Love to all
