Hi to all my friends on GoY, apologies for not writing a blog this year, the reason being that my wife has been in hospital for a couple of weeks, and I haven’t had much time, however I got a phone call from the hospital at 4-15 am today, saying that my dear wife was deteriorating, and could I get to the hospital as soon as possible, when I got there at 4-40 am, I was met by the ward sister, who told me that she had stopped breathing at 4-25am, I had missed her last moments by 15 minutes, so I have become a widower for the second time, so if I don’t appear on here for a while, or intermittently, please excuse my absence.
I just thought I would like to let my friends on GoY know of my new situation, thank you, Derek.
