Hi everyone it's been a long time since I have visited you all and I have to say I have missed you all , just a quick update janes arthritis has got progressively worse and I care for her full time now and she has a hospital appointment in April to see if they can replace her knuckles as her fingers are practically closed now bless her

, I still continue to grow my stuff and brew my gear mmmmmmm

, still haven't lost any weight

too much good food to eat just about to tuck into my Burns supper and a dram of 16yr old longmorn or two

, I hope to catch up with all our old friends and make some new ones over the new year, so here's raising my glass to you all belated as it is, good health and best wishes

Respect to all, be kind to all and you shall reap what you sow.
