Thank you for the happy birthday and so sorry I haven't been posting. I hope that this post finds all of you well and happy

Really miss all of you. Spose I'll take this time while I'm posting to let you know that Joseph and me are going to be married a bit later than had anticipated, but we're not having any problems between us so is good news there. He's got a few family problems. I don't ask people for things very often, but feel I need to ask as many people as possible to help if they can. All I ask is that, if any of you can, say a short prayer for him and his family, and if not christian, then please keep my beloved and his family in your thoughts. Thank you
And, erm, I wasn't drinking anymore and still haven't, but I will be tonight .. so when you raise yer .. erm ... whatever it is that you'll be drinkin from, just imagine am there with ye raising mine also

Merry meet and merry part, I drink to thee with all my heart

Love all yous
