Hi Everyone , I have'nt been able to get on in the past few days , seems we wore out the modem or something . I was really lost without my Buddy in the corner ,amazing how much we depend on the internet nowadays. Suffice to say we have a tidier home . Anyway poor Madeleine had a rotten birthday , she had a nasty bug which lasted all weekend . It probably didnt help that half her family Dad , Brother and Sister flew off to Los Angelos and she was left behind . Anyway she is fine now back to her cheerful self and we eventually got to cut the birthday cake. Thank you to all who sent her birthday greetings and many happy returns to all those with February birthdays out there .
