Hi Chicks,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the latest show. I just wanted to say you fill a little hole in my mother/daughter soul - my mum passed away 8 years ago from endometrium cancer and something about your chats just really cheers me. The way you tell your lovely family anecdotes and blether about your knitting and what you're reading puts me in mind of my mum.
I've been listening to you for 3 or 4 years now and I should have thanked you much sooner.
Kind regards and happy thoughts to you,
Jude
