What a roller coaster you have had

But also what an incredible adventure you are on the & it shows what good communities & friends do for each other in a storm

May the storms now ease and may it be calm sailing in to spring & beyond & may the to do list grow smaller

Quite right! Yup...we have loads of water now...we can ease off the taps a bit!! Hope things are going better for you guys.

I think it was The Clash that wrote

“Should I stay or should I go”

And that’s where we are unfortunately

A lot of over promising & absolutely no delivery at all

It feels Like we are trying to light a fire with damp matches

OMG, just when you think it’s safe to go into the water ! I simply cannot believe you have had all this slung at you. If you had written a novel, everyone would have commented on how far fetched it was. Now whilst I appreciate it makes for an amazing blog, my goodness your blood pressures must go through the roof. So relieved about Simon. Believe me I know how that feels. We had a wonderful Staffie who was terrified of loud noise and we lost her in Allerthorpe woods when some gun shots went off. Luckily we also got her back after a couple of days. TV station eh, watch this space me thinks. I am praying for you to have respite in your roller coaster ride. With love Annie x x x

Phew! Great story about Simon made almost unrealistic by England's win against Ireland ;-)

Best wishes from Bangkok.

So glad there was a positive ending … the weather in Northumberland has not improved! X

Sorry to hear that...but you have to blame Alan & Marge I'm afraid...still nice here! Hope all's well.

How good did you find the plasma gun?

It was great - once it had enough power...and a dodgy cable and a dodgy generator don't really count as enough power! Very quick and smooth and so much easier than an angle grinder (especially for the higher bits). I'd definitely recommend it.

Haha. You’ll have to ask him!

Does Alan Gledson undertake projects nearer home (Heaton for example) ?
