Hello all. Just to let you know I’m doing ok. I’ve been so well looked after at home and am currently laid up on a sofa surrounded by my 3 smallest boys. I’ve got some impressive bruises and a swollen and newly glued forehead which I’m completely fascinated by. If I hurt myself, I’m always satisfied by a spectacular healing process and my puffy face has not disappointed. I want to thank you for the lovely messages. Quite overwhelming really, and almost worth falling off my bike for. As it happens I’ve been feeling so incredibly lucky to have not broken anything and to be fortunate enough to have so much support Xxxx hope you’re doing ok on what would have usually been our date night for the last couple of months. Have a boogie for me. I’ll be dancing with you again in no time X
