Hi Jean
Have at last caught up with your last posting. As with all your work so full of everything, hopes, fears for yourself and also concerns for others. I know staying positive is difficult but hang on in there. Alcohol can be a...

Hi Jean

Hi Jean
I love the way your writing is 'warts and all'! You write things as they are, both good and bad. But you always end on a positive note.
I think we've all been there with the food business, can't be bothered and cut corners...

Hi Jean
What an upleasant experience for you (and Effie). A well written, amusing and informative piece, as usual. You do seem to overcome the trials and tribulations of your condition with great equanimity.

Hi Jean
Your descriptions of what is happening to you are always 'so human'. By that I mean you show pleasure at small things, humour at large things and a great interest in what is happening to you with a desire to share and also, if you...
