[Tech1] Topics 5 - your latest compilation

[Albert Barber]

Thank you so much for all the work in the past . I hope that you will find time to return as things get easier. I look at my son and his too and reflect on the hard work it is and notice how knackered my son and his wife look. It does get better! Willow looks a bonny baby, love to her too and such a lovely name. It is only as a grandparent do you understand the love without the hardwork.

And let me say, Bernie has been great to work for!

Willow  is precious and unexpected  - my daughter had lots of problems "down there" over the years: we thought that she would not be able to conceive.  But here is Willow. (nearly four months)
