I am pleased to say the lad is now out of hospital and hopefully feeling better .Thank you for your good wishes for him .We are visiting them next Tuesday so will let him know he had your kind thoughts . The house has now been completely plastered so is looking more like a house and we are all so eager to see it. Hopefully we will be able to show some decent pictures next week. Another bit of news is about the wonderful knitted items some of you ladies kindly donated for the poorer children in need of warm clothing .We have given them to a very trustworthy teacher who will ensure they go the children most needy and she was overwhelmed when she saw the bags of donations . She said no words could express how grateful she was that people cared .Thank you so much to all the knitters and those that donated the new gloves hats etc They will be truly appreciated by the children I am sure. Definitely getting nippy in the nights and mornings now .
