Hi Barry,

I am so glad those pesky Viking's are back in the box and you are fighting forward as usual. I have said this before and I will probably say it again you are SHMAZING.

Love to both you and Karen.

Hi Barry

I haven't been around for a while given the Swedish visitors, new carpets coming and decorating to do plus I found some concrete fake sleepers going cheap and decided to make myself a new hard standing with them. Crazy woman, I should go back to work!

I have been following Karen on Facebook so knew you were poorly and in the hospice. I am pleased that some improvements seem to be happening, thanks to the hospice staff. Keep,getting better my friend, we miss you and Dublin is getting nearer.

Big love

Allison xxxx

Dear All

Thank you for all your hugs and kind words, this is Karen writing as Barry is very emotional and, as he says 'humbled by your comments'. He has been able to sit up for a while this afternoon and we have started a jigsaw puzzle. He has had some visitors and has had quite a lot of pain today with the infection still raging. Tomorrow he will have bloods taken again the results should go to the Onco but they are looking at the blood clotting - at the moment it is not! Barry has had lots of friends and family visiting lately - our kids- James and Jo, Chris and Laura; the ex Gurkhas and our friend from the Tower of London(all travelling a long way to see him) and I also spend every day here, coming and going with the dog who is also made very welcome. He has asked me to send love to you all and is thinking of others who are on this same journey x

Hi Karen and Barry, there is little today which I can add to what others have already said. I am thinking of you both and hope that in between the pain and fever there is time for you to just be together and make the most of this precious time. Thanks to James too for updating, Barry needs to be focused on dealing with the latest issues and not worry about us.

To keep your humour, to keep giving helpful advice to those needing a boost, to keep thinking of us via your family while you ill , well - you keep on doing it.
Even now, your being so poorly at the moment, is bringing this "family" even more together a we all send our

Best Wishes
