I promised you an update and an update you shall have. I had friends over from Germany and they stayed till yesterday. I had a great time and I think they did too.

Milada visited me at the time of my accident in Germany. She had a house near the hospital in. Linda stayed with her for several weeks whilst visiting me in the hospital each day. She had lost her husband some time before and has a son Alexander, who coincidently looks remarkably similar to my son by the same name.

I picked them up from Stansted Airport and we returned home and my children arrived some time later. Unfortunately my children only stayed one night but in this time they got to know each other and enjoyed the time.
