I spoke to Nel today, finally! She WILL be back, but has changed ISP and is having trouble subscribing at present.
If you remember, last time she checked in she was in Canada: now she's back in Yorkshire, and still suffering with her poor nose. She says she will be applying for a her Rudolf certificate soon! They filled her with LOTS of antibiotics in Canada. It would now appear that she has an abscess in her septum, so faces possible surgery... Poor Nel!
Good wishes would be appreciated. I can send them on by email when I get her new email address.
