Thanks for all the work you do everyday
Unfortunately Pauline had to work today so she couldn’t join him !
Ian’s sadness was concealed by his brave face all the same, what a good sport.

What a legend Shelly stepping in to put the blog together at the last minute.
That first photo of Ian (not mine) is a gorgeous one of him. He does such a lot voluntarily to keep this group going so well as it does. He really is an amazing guy. We are so lucky.
Lovely swim today except for jimble stings on the boobs 🙁 (I was feeling a bit left out though as they never go for me!)

Thanks Shelly for stepping in to do the blog for me at the last minute. It turned out to be entertaining, reasonably lengthy and as a bonus drew in some great comments to boot.
