John 14th September 2023

Happy birthday Dot Sorry I’m a bit late, hope you like your flowers and I have your card up. We did your walk last week and there was about fifty on it. By your popular there’s more and more each year 😀 I know you were looking down on us as the weather was beautiful again. Your Alan, Debbie and Debra was there, but Michael was called into work at the last minute. Everyone said they had a good time and are all coming again next year. There was also about 35 of us had our dinners in the Stag’s Head. It was beautiful and I finished off with an Oreo Cheesecake yum yum 🤣 Tracey and Helen from the Stag’s did the Great North Run on Sunday in aid of MNDA and raised about £1600 which will be linked to your fund. I am still waiting for all the sponsor forms in from our walk and we have already raised £1600 as well, just online and the street collection. I will put some photos on here when I get a new lead to download them. I have been out and about a bit lately. Last Friday was Lisa’s birthday party at The Moss Sunniside. They had a Glam Rock singer on and some of the girls were in fancy dress. It was a really good laugh and a great night. Last Saturday I went up to Stanhope show and just like when we went up, we didn’t go into the show and just stopped in the pub opposite. It was a good day but I was a bit rough on Sunday 🤣 Everyone is keeping well and David is loads better and even came on the walk. The garden isn’t too bad pet but not as good as when you did it. I have to get the onions and potatoes up this week and put a few flowers in. Well that all the scandal at the moment and I’ll love you and leave you with the same message Dot that I miss you every day and love you forever and ever and always. Your loving husband John xxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
