Dorsetgal & GeoDog: Very much indebted to Heather & Dan for covering this event for me as I was unexpectedly still in hospital.
Thank you very much to everyone who attended, sent good wishes, and especially those who showed kindness to Karen with some donations. We were both really touched by your kindness, and would like to say thank you.
Remarkably, as there wasn't a suitable bed at Poole Hospital I had to remain in Bournemouth for almost two months by which time the taxi bill for visiting was almost £1700, what a nightmare! Anyway, I'm home and recovering, and that's the main thing.
