    My very long AWOL!!!

    I think that I've been away for almost two years now. The reasons were open heart surgery, having one testicle removed and non Hodgkins Lymphona.

    Thankfully all now appears to be well as I've been discharged from all three clinics/surgeons etc. I only have to return every three months to the blood cancer clinic for check ups.

    Uppermost in my thoughts during this time has been the welfare of Nat. I'm almost afraid to ask and I do hope that all is well with him also, please God.

    The end result of my absence is that I'm currently between cameras. While I was unwell I got rid of all my 'stuff' and I haven't got around to sorting new 'stuff' out. That's it from me for now but perhaps someone can inform me as to the welfare of Nat, please.

    Welcome home and one hopes for a continued recovery to full health for you.

    There is no easy way to say this, but Nat left us a scant few months ago, he was one of the true gents of this world and will not be forgotten by any of us on here that he touched with his presence.

      Welcome back JayJay, prayers for your continuing recovery. As Tony stated above Nat was a true Gent and he is still with us through the photos that he has taken.

              May I first thank you all for your kind wishes for myself. I've just had another bit of good news this morning. My recent tests for bowel cancer have come back all clear.

              Now the important bit. I was very sad and a little upset at the news of Nat's passing. I had never had the opportunity or pleasure of speaking or meeting him, except through these forums.

              I now need to look to get myself some photographic 'stuff', which might take a little while as finances are rather tight, aren't they always? Hopefully, I'll be back with the world's worst 'piccies' soon.
