Have a nice trip Chelle and enjoy the Christmas markets. Good luck for everyone with treatment and appointments next week. Stacy, I hope your surgery goes smoothly and you can leave the hospital in time for Christmas. Will also be thinking of you Stella and hoping you get the outcome you want.

Dear Stella and Stacy, best wishes for you both for tomorrow, you will be in my thoughts. 

A glass will be raised towards the sky at 15.40, in memory of dear Ellie, to say a final farewell to an extraordinary Lady.

Chelle, have a lovely time at the Christmas Markets. They are so special at this time of year. I do miss the continental markets here. I have been to the London one a few times. It is very good, but it had not the same feeling to it. Safe travels to you both from 

Angie and Lilly xx 

Thank you very much everyone! I am staying in London tonight as have to be at the hospital at 6:30am. Went around Kensington area and saw some beautiful Christmas lights. 
Stacy Hope your op goes smoothly xx

Thank you everyone for the positive thoughts and best wishes, I'll update when I can. Thanks for sharing the Christmas lights Stella, I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.

Good Day everyone 

I had my EUA yesterday and it all went well. I am still non the wiser on the big op as the surgeon went into a 10 hour op after mine. Another trip to London tomorrow for a CT angiogram then a zoomonsultation on Thursday to discuss the operation. Hopefully all planned out before Christmas. There were primary school kids singing at the hospital lobby which was rather sweet. 

Hope Stacy had a smooth operation and is recovering well.

How is everyone doing? I have dome all my shopping and wrapping today.

Hi guys.

I went to Ellie's service and reception yesterday, the service was lovely, reflective, and thoughtful, with about 60 family and friends present.

Ellie's daughter and grandson wrote the tributes, about the love and importance of family, her amazing strength, determination, and willpower to handle everything that came her way, her love of holidays, and a spotless kitchen floor, the amazing roast potato's she made and Ellie's need for a routine, which the family would use to wind her up.

Ellie's music choices were 

Lewis Capaldi's The day that I die...

Tommy Steele's Princess.

As some of you will know Ellie loved poetry and chose two poems to be read at her service, I'll add them at the end.

I was lucky to meet some of Ellie's family, her sister, daughter, sons, and grandson, as well as a few others, they all spoke so highly of Ellie, though somebody not to be trifled with, she was a loving, caring, wonderful soul who always put family first.

RIP my friend 

love Eddie and family xx
