    Thank you, Jilll. Yes, myself and littlest Skylark are mere hours apart in reality. He was born 9.30pm the day before my birthday :-)

    Thank goodness you were not in the room when it happened. Hope the matter is resolved soon. Strange and very worrying that the washing machine was not in use when it happened. If you do not get quick and satisfactory action from the company, then ...

    Welcome, Brooksi - Keynsham used to be my home from 11 until I married; have moved around and now live in Cambridgeshire, so chat over coffee is out I fear! Enjoy Cloud. It is a friendly and helpful place. :)

    Good morning, CW. Yes, it is an evocative name. Think you would like it, although the hilltop towns from which to view the sunsets etc were rather crowded with tourists even this early in the season - lots of cruise ships stop at the island. The ...

    The name 'Santorini' is so evocative, isn't it, both of past and of present? I've never been there - been slightly reluctant to go, since it sounds so gorgeous and I wouldn't want to be disappointed. But you've made me wonder again, if it might be ...

    I've never been to Santorani, and after reading your blog, I'm sorry that I haven't. Don't think I'll get the chance now. Sigh!

      CJ Thanksm Jill! Things are definitely better - Emily is on the whole sleeping through now (YAY!), and I had a story accepted by a magazine, so technically I am going to be a published writer soon... all very exciting! Funny how the world turns, isn't it?

      Jill It is indeed! And I have the all clear from GP too - whatever it was, it was not heart or lung problem after all - hooray!! Carry on the good sleep work Emily. :) You must be excited about the forthcoming publication. It is a nice feeling ~ I've yet to be paid for any published work, but it is still satisfying to see one's efforts in print. :)

    Thanks Jill. Been meaning to message you to ask about your holiday. Hope you had a wonderful time. I know it isn't the same, but I went to Blackpool for a long weekend! My son's g/f's family live there and invited me up to meet them - her parents came down a couple of weekends ago - was nice getting to know Lindsay's family (very big and confusing) and escaping for a while too x

    Hello Jill,

    I expect you're still away on holiday so hope you're having a wonderful time. I'm not managing to find much room for the Cloud just now and my PC is so terribly slow (again, no time to get a techie in to sort out the necessary updates!)

    Still ... think of you often and will message when the dust settles here :-)

    Love, Am xx
