Hi Gang :wave: just to say hello again, sorry again i've been away AGAIN but i have had a major illness to recover from, not to go into boring detail but i lost the use of my right hand, it was very wierd especially as i am right handed but i am well on the mend now and my lovely Jane has looked after me and herself bless her, so i have a lot of catching up to do, i have missed you all terribly :grouphug: my family have kept my garden growing for me and my friends have helped also, my main thing now is to get rid of my fat backside :lol: :lol: so i did a bit of weeding in the garden but only lasted half an hour :oops: but it was a start, i'll post a few pics of the new garden over the next few days, so bless you all and lookig forward to catching up

Welcome back, Russ :iconbiggrin: :iconbiggrin:

Sorry to hear about your illness, and I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying to get back to full health ASAP. Don't get confused about references to Andy's hat, which he's taken to wearing in his new role as a prime-time TV star.

Cheers ... Mike

Hi Russ, sorry to hear you've been so unwell. Look after yourself and don't over do it.

Good to have you back :hugish:

Hi there and welcome back - glad to see you :iconbiggrin:

Hi Russ,
I'm a newbie but i just wanted to say to take it easy and enjoy whatever you're able to do. I have fibromyalgia and am bed ridden a times. My lovely husband and children take care of everything when i'm ill but it is so frustrating to be unable to get out and about.
Hope you're doing well and take care. :hugish:

Hi Russ, sorry to hear you haven't been well, if it's not one of you it's the other! At least you are both there to look after each other which is lovely. Take care of yourself and hope we will hear more from you. :hugish:

I can relate to the fat backside as I had to have back surgery and bam suddenly I was fat!
Takes a lot longer to get off as it does to just appear on your bones unfortunately but if you can get back in the garden then things are looking up :)
