Dear Family, Friends and readers, it is with a heavy heart that I am writing the end of this chapter, as Jill is away caring for her terminally Ill mum who was taken into hospital on Monday, I know your thoughts will be with her to keep her strong through these dark hours, I have left Peterborough for the safety of Foxes Marina in March where I am readying 'MR' for an extended layover. This will be the 1st time in over 4 years that we have left 'MR' for more than a few days. I saw Jill off on the train from Peterborough yesterday on a journey she was dreading, my Love went with her as she waived me goodbye. Now to pack up and and ready the menagerie for a journey into land living, what do we need? I don't know Jill would be so organised. She will return.
