Dear all, thanks for the kind hugs and thoughts. I've had a cry and feel better now.
Ireland, November, my birthday is in November... bluddy hel, I should be ok by THEN!
But, as they say, life and mojitos go on.
I'll have to dig around for info on the Irish one.
I WILL meet you all, you think I'd give up that bit of fun for a mere two inch deep hole? NEVER!
