Very nice and very special memories for your family. I am sorry to hear about your mum’s passing Andy or I would have acknowledged it at the time if you mentioned it in your blog, just as I did when your father passed away a few years ago.

You’re welcome Andy and I’m glad I didn’t miss an announcement as I felt badly for that. The same to you and yours across the miles as we enter this most festive time of the year.
