Thanks, and sorry........

My most sincere apologies to all for the lack of any movement on this blog over the last few weeks. I have been unbelievably ill, and unable to either eat or drink anything for 2 weeks, so was getting progressively weaker and dehydrated, and turning into a 90 year old crone in front of my family's eyes!

Thanks to family and friends, I have managed to turn the corner, and feel I am now on the road to recovery.

There's still a long way to go (with a Pacemaker possibly being the ultimate end to the story), but actually being able to eat (and keep down) the finest free-range chicken stock ever (lovingly and carefully made by my Nellie), complete with chicken wontons with a hint of coriander, last night marked the turning point for me, and it felt like I had been one of those dried flowers in Varuni's tea at Chado, which, on having boiling water added to them, slowly open out to reveal the most delicate and beautifully fragranced flower, and tea.

Thanks to those of you who have emailed me via the Email Rita direct facility, offering your thoughts and love for my recovery.
