update

sorry i've been absent so long. we came down in a hurry on thursday night to see granny before she died, we didn't get here till 11pm so went in early on friday morning, but we were too late by 10 minutes. we're staying down here at least until tuesday, probably longer, i only have borrowed internet access, so probably won't be able to catch up on my flist.
mummy and aunty jac and unty nic are coping very well, it's aunty jac's children who are taking it really badly, they're the oldest of us and can remember her really well as an incredibly active granny.
we've been expecting this for a long time, she's been poorly for ages, and when she went into hospital 3 weeks ago she was very bad and getting worse each day, but it's still not nice, and all in all it's been a pretty rotten year, but at least now we've had our 3.
the dreadful thing is that friday and monday are bank-holidays for easter, so we can't do anything till tuesday. and we only packed for a weekend visit, so have now run out of clothes :(
