Dearest Jo and family. We are currently going through 15 years of storage and today I found a beautiful letter you wrote to me 2 years after Allison died. I have given it to Xani and we both had tears in our eyes. So I looked you and Fred up on Google and I found this page. I don’t know if you will see this as it’s been over a year since Fred sadly died, but if you do, I would love to write and let you know what we have been up to over the past two decades !! Much love to you and the family and all the best for a happy 2023!
