The problem is that he had gone for a day out on his motorbike and had a massive heart attack. He was only 61 and had no history of heart problems that we know of. Now there has to be a p.m and nothing can be done until that has happened. His bike is still in Lincolnshire. Not sure how daughter is going to get that home. Cannot just abandon it, as it is worth a fair amount of money.

Did your son-in-law have any friends who ride motorbikes, perhaps they could get a lift from someone & temporary insurance to ride it back?

Problem for all of us is the distance we all live from each other.

I've had a problem with abandoned cats over the last year, finally I'm getting help from Cats Protection, 2 have been trapped and are on their way to a better life, just one to go who seems determined not to play the game, I'm hoping this morning that he's been hungry enough to take the food from the trap but I won't know until it's light enough to check, I so want him to be in a safe environment before the bad weather kicks in, last year they were living in my greenhouse and gazebo with food and warm beds, hopefully I can catch him and send him to his happy life

I went into the Range in Carmarthen yesterday and when I got to the till I heard
"HO HO HO Merry Chriiiiiiistmaaaaaas !" coming from a Santa automaton standing near-by !
I must have looked horrified in my shorts and tee shirt on a warm sunny day, and the chap at the till said "I have to listen to that all day and I'm fed up with it already"

I resisted going to Farmyard Nurseries for bulbs, but I can go there next week

Daughter said it was very emotive. Still no P.M. so no date for the funeral, yet.

Once a date is fixed it will be better as the feeling of being in limbo will be ver.
