Dear cyber friends,

I'm sorry to hear that things are difficult for you just now. I hope your health is not the problem. Look after yourself and I hope you will have the strength to cope.
Take care and use your blog to express yourself when you need to x
Dear friends,
thank you so much for caring, commenting and still hanging around, I really do appreciate that. No, Julie, it's not my health, it's matrimonial - and Clare: I just cannot do that in my blog.
Hope everything will work out for you, we will be here!
Carolyn xx
We are thinking of you!
