so hats off to Sue, and i must just say what a lovely lady she is

i will mail you all the pics i took if you want, i know it aint the same but we were sort of next to each other

Thanks Jackie

and a big thank you to you for sorting out the accommodation. Mum said how lovely you all were. A big hug to your Sam and Karen (we'll make a loonie of Karen yet!!

)

Jackie, I have to say what a very brave lady you are, with all that you're going through healthwise. I do hope that Dublin won't be your last gig and you get sorted soon xxxxxxxxx

aww thanx Elise

yes am trying to get Karen to join, she was so funny at the gig, asking what song was what

, but she really did enjoy herself and i am sure she will be wanting to go to many more gigs (with or without me)

I am going to Manchester with Jen and Beth and then Brum with Jen, Beth, Hubby and a couple of other friends, but i think after that i wil have to give up gigs

as my health is not getting any better

unless i use my wheelchair and you know my thoughts on that

but i did have a good time in Dublin, and the company was great too

Lol at Karen! Sounds a bit like my mum! But afterwards Mum was talking about them like she'd known them all her life!

She instantly remembered all their names and various names of the crew I'd mentioned! Guess that comes from having been a headteacher - she knew the names of all the kids in her school!

Fingers crossed all will be well for you at Manc and Brum, I'm sure it will. See you on the 21st then!

Is it a week ago already? Seems like yesterday that Me and Marg joined you lot in the queue

Elise, your mum is most definitely stellar for not only queueing but surviving the front row from start to finish and it was lovely to see her again (and you of course!). Have you persuaded her to go to Plymouth yet?
