Back in business...sort of

It's been an odd few weeks since my last post. After that post my father's condition deteriorated, and he died on Saturday 12th April at South Tyneside Hospital. It's come as a big shock to everyone, not least because he was a tough old boot, but because in the last couple of days he was perking up and giving everyone hell. Then, after lunch on that Saturday, he just went to sleep and quietly passed away.

As you would expect, I've got a lot going on at the moment, but I'm hoping to get back into gear over the next few days.
