BETTER NEWS FROM PRESTON

Obviously she's still very poorly, but Marion is able to move her arms and legs although speaking isn't happening yet. Charles is still over there and I hope he will stay for a while until there is some sort of prognosis. There will be a lot to think about and to organise, so I guess we need to be pretty flexible about making any plans for the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, Christina and I have spent the morning together in Morpeth. We've discovered a dress agency that's just opened and stocks some incredible designer clothes - pre-worn of course, but incredible bargains. We might raid our wardrobes to see if we have anything to sell and clear a bit of space for new stuff!!
