Hi Kevin I hope you're alright wherever you are looking down at us all. You'll observe I'm still trying my best to get my life together and to start another chapter but it's far from easy and definitely full of knocks and disappointments. Today I went to Windsor for lunch with two friends (Alan & Jay) that I'd met on holiday in March, so that was lovely and a real positive for me. Paul Carpenter and Bill have been working on the replacement Pagoda being as the second one which you put up quite some years ago had rotted away. They're hoping to finish in the next week or so which will be great and I can then plant a couple of climbers in so they can grow over it like before. I went up to Michaels for Victoria's 30th birthday party which was a really good evening. They've been really good to me, which I know you'd be really pleased about!!! This time I felt much more relaxed staying there, which I suppose is just a time thing as we had always stayed at your mums and obviously not at theirs. Jacob is growing up quite fast now and Sarah has tried to him that I'm a Great Uncle, but the Great bit proved too difficult to understand (which I get) so I'm an Uncle which is lovely!!!! Missing you as much as every and just wishing you were still here Love as always Simon Xxxxxx
