 So that's what we did, quite, but, lovely. 
Let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your lovely comments and good wishes this year.
I know I've not been leaving comments as much as I would wish, but,
it really as been a hard 6 months to come to terms with all that's happening. 
So whilst I'm publishing this card.
 I'd like to wish you all
