Many, many thanks to everyone for your kind wishes, cards and flowers; especially those who were disappointed to find the gallery closed on Friday and made an extra journey to Hereford on Saturday.
Still awaiting an outcome but hopefully we will be open every day this week.
At this point I will attempt to insert a cheery pic! Yes, I know its a graveyard. ALL THANKS TO HEREFORD HOSPITAL FOR KEEPING ME OUT OF THERE!

Not again – I can’t believe it. Tonight was the Start to Spin event at Gomati’s but the tutors and the participants are snowbound.
After a hair raising drive from Devon, where there isn’t supposed to be snow we skated across the road from Monmouth to Hereford passing : two accidents (one including a police car); two gritters and one snow plough, to finally make it home.
It seems as if every time an event is planned the weather rises against us – can the elements be sending me a message? Anyhow its off for tonight and a new date will be set as soon as global warming back on target.
