Thanks Everybody,

I felt really bad letting you down and I didn't know how to get in touch with anyone to let you know what had happened. It is lovely for me to know you read the diary, wiping away tear.

Matt am I right the Coast repeats are just random episodes over several years?as I can't remember the one this week and I hope I am not missing any it only shows C on the schedule and that could mean anything so I apologise if I miss any.

Ann :egghead:
 
Hi Ann,
