Hello everyone!!

The spring is sprung, lovely clear skies here today for the partial solar eclipse and busy getting ready to head for Middlewich for our first floating market of 2015.

For those who don't already know Ray had surgery in late January to reverse the stoma he was left with following his cancer surgery. all went well and today he had his post-op check up and is officially discharged from the surgeon. He still has regular appointments with his oncologist and will do for some time to come.
