    Relapsed in October after 4 years post SCT remission, but thought 'Myeloma my Ar*e, got the band back together, rehearsed on the steroid highs and set up our biggest gig ever….

    Here is a nice vid of a special night (huge thanks to Don at Sweet Pictures…. If anyone needs a video shooting look no further!)

    You are a real inspiration of what a person can achieve if he wants to get off his a*se and "just do it". Great. Now where did I put my penny whistle?

    Kindest regards

    …weddings, bar mitzvahs and acoustic greenhouse openings all considered! Especially if home made wine on offer. I rediscovered my stash of 15 year old home made port at Christmas…an absolute revelation! it was undrinkable about 6 years ago!

    I have quite a new garden shed could i have a an acoustic opening as well? Not to good on the home made wine, local harveys beer is excellent! Cucumbers next door in the greenhouse ,could try to ferment them have a feeling they could be pretty awful!! Could make potingine (spelling) lots of potateos in the garden:-D

    Haha Srah you have just brought back some memories for me !! I used to work in a factory years ago with a lady whose dad made home-made wine from the veg on his allotment To be honest some of it was awful , potato and carrot peelings yuk!! Pocheen was a good one though and there were a few nights no work got done because we were a little tipsy to say the least!! I look forward to my unvite to the shed opening love Bridget x

    my mother made elderflower champagne once all the bottles blew up one night in the kitchen it was a revolting mess, my mother was teetotal, never did understand what she was up too!!

    Bridget please could i ask you to cut the red ribbon on my shed opening? I promise proper champage + Harveys + hopefully fantastic acoustic music, i promise not to sing too painful for all the revllers!

    All are invited!!

    best wishes

    See what you started Phil! By the way when you had your last Bone Marrow Biopsy can we asume it was WITH anaesthetic or was it a re-run of the Benny Hill opening shots! Come on, own up!

    Love, Gaye xx
