A Message from Paul.
    I would like to thank all of you who so kindly remembered my recent birthday with cards and gifts.
    Whilst I'll try to thank everyone personally, it is possible someone, somewhere, will be overlooked.
    Given the, "special," nature of the birthday, perhaps any omission may be excused as, "a senior moment!"
    I am finding it hard to accept that Avon and I are pensioners!
    I am hoping the Government will pay up.  Avon, on the other hand, stole all he'll ever need a long time ago!
    Your continued affection and thoughtfulness is, as always, much appreciated.
    Love from me.  Laughter in Paradise from Avon.
A Message from Janet.
To all you kind people, who sent me birthday cards and lovely presents, an enormous thank you. They cheered me up at having reached 64 !
We have bought ourselves a birthday present too. A dachshund puppy, called Poppy, who we will collect on May 21st.
Her mother is Daisy's sister and Kate who bred her, says she has the same friendly temperament and is just as pretty too. She's holding her own, against three huge brothers !
It's nearly a year since we lost Daisy, so the arrival of Poppy will fill an enormous gap and our quiet house will be noisy, untidy and full of laughter.
We can't wait !
With love to you all.
Janet.

A Message from Janet.
     Our beautiful and greatly loved Daisy, died on June 12th. She was only 10 months old.
Two weeks ago, she had survived life-threatening surgery and returned home full of energy as if nothing had happened. Two days later, she collapsed, and a second operation revealed she had Peritonitis.
    Daisy fought for her life, with tenacity and braveness that belied her smallness. Sarah, our vet, did all she could, even to taking Daisy to her house every night, so she could watch her. We were optimistic, most of the time, but on the sixth day, Sarah phoned to say that Daisy had deteriorated and was now too frail to fight anymore. She brought her home to us, so we could say our goodbyes at the end.
    Daisy really was a “one off”. From our first sight of her, aged 5 weeks, so tiny she sat in Paul’s hand, she had stolen our hearts. We had never known a dog with such a wonderful character and kind nature.
She loved life, she loved us, and she loved everyone she met and all dogs, big or small. She was full of fun. Very excited by her daily walks, played with her toys with obvious pleasure, had learned instructions almost at once, and being in the car, was her idea of heaven.
She could be quiet too, gentle and sweet. Every evening when I sat down to read or watch TV, she jumped to the top of the sofa and wriggled her way round my neck and went to sleep. Paul’s arrival downstairs in the mornings, resulted in lots of barks, and then Daisy planted herself between his feet, so he couldn’t move, rolled onto her back for her tummy to be stroked.
    To lose Daisy at the beginning of her life seems cruel and we find it hard to accept that she won’t grow old with us. We feel empty, and miss her dreadfully. It was our privilege to own her.          Janet & Paul.
A Message from Paul.
I would like to thank everyone who has so kindly remembered my birthday, with cards and other greetings.
It's quite traumatic reaching 40 !!!!

The 1970s Office.It hardly bears thinking about, but just imagine having to live without all the technology that we take
for granted. We panic when we go to work and discover that we've left our mobile phones at home.
We're enraged when our computers crash and we can't order our weekly shopping over the web.
Once upon a time there was a strange world without computers, mobiles and the internet. Instead of bluetooth keyboards
there were typewriters. The only way to get money from your bank was to stand in a queue and write a cheque.
But we're bringing that scary world back to life in The 1970s Office, a retro-scripted reality series that will celebrate the
awfulness (and the richness) of the recent past. We'll do this by meticulously recreating the typical 70s office and installing
a bunch of fickle, precious and competitive admen for the toughest test of their careers.
The series is due to start on Thursday October 21st on Sky One.
