xmas

Apologies if we have missed anyone on the Christmas card list. Things have been a tad up and down recently with the situation with Mum, poets going out, the funeral, the build going on and what not.
But Dad’s with us for Christmas now and the children are all in their new rooms, so it’s all systems go.
Hope all is well with you and yours and that everyone has a wonderful time over the holidays.
Love
The Greers.

Hi. Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet. My Mum passed away yesterday. She had two massive heart attacks whilst visiting South Shields on the 15th and never regained consciousness. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks with my dad, looking after each other. We were by her side when she passed and she went peacefully.

We would like to thank the extraordinary staff at the ITU Ward South Tyneside District Hospital for their compassion and dedication and the people of the Little Haven Hotel for making a very difficult time as easy as possible.

The picture above is of South Shields harbour. I took it just before we went back to the hospital to say our last goodbyes.

Also thank to everyone for your messages of support and sympathy they are very much appreciated.

I’m on my way back to Bristol today (27th November). Speak soon.
