It will take time, but she is a determined and strong woman, so I have no doubt that she will be back on top in no time – just in time to get the second hip replacement! Today’s been a busy…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got lost in some colouring in. Such a relaxing, therapeutic thing to do, don’t you agree?
