I could never forget it Tom. We have only just parted company with the easel a few months back . X

Yr 9

Sometimes words do not seem enough.

Thank you all that very kindly donated to Reece from Tonys LV WS  trip. It is very gratefully accepted.  Xxxxx

Before you start I know now it was wrong but......

When I was a girl the local farmer gassed out a den but one cub remained alive. I being selfish decided to rear it.
Called her Basil of course. She eventually was allowed to come a and go at her leisure and became expecting cubs herself. At times brining home another fox for food.

Alas before she gave birth the local rogue decided to shoot her knowing it was Basil, as all the locals did..but it was funny to him. He loved telling me. Brooke
 my heart but I guess my own fault for letting her trust humans.

Waiting. X

 We are where we are now is a lot down to support of you guys. Life has changed massively over the last 12 months  we  are still full time carers of Reece . I hold down my position on the railway. Darren has a postman job. Reece...well he is a hero he just keeps on going when I falter he mans up. He is 13 going on 60.   

Our boy is going all teenager on us.

If I didn't love going to work so much and housework, shopping, playing being  a nurse I'd go but so much more fun to be had here in rainy dull and dismal Huddersfield. 



Enjoy lovely couple. X

Oopps. 

Isn't Simon there anymore?.

We are well Ray ty. Lots of changes and adjustments. Main thing is Reece is happy.  Xx

Raymond 'Mondatoo' Norton?

Works for Pads as his stable manager and has done for a couple of years I believe.

I kind of new that, but wondered why we never hear from him on here, or if he still played live etc.

That's a good question.

He last posted here in Mid March, so 9 months ago, but he still seems to log in regularly - in fact he logged in to blonde this morning, at just after 6am.

I'm not aware that he had any upsets or bad blood with anyone here, & he was pretty popular.

Folks just move on I guess.

Shame really, I really liked Ray, & much enjoyed his company.

Here's his now-dormant Diary;

One of my favourite ever casino moments, although I am not sure if I am remembering it correctly, was watching Ray play Roulette in Gala Nottingham, while Cos translated the numbers he was requesting to the croupier!

Have no recollection of this story whatsoever, bit like most stories of my times in Nottingham though until they're relayed back to me, gg.

Good times Stu, all the best to you and the family.

Hmm, I remember it quite vividly but I think as always we had had a few.

Need verification from the internet policeman himself.

Be good to catch you for a beer again one day.

THIS.

Would be lovely to see a lot of folk from past on here. 

BTW Ray...Reece was only saying tonight that his Xbox 1 was the best ever gift. He is eternally grateful and fills most of his time on it even tho I really try to prize him out of his room.
