Well I hope you all had a brill Easter, an didnae stuff too many
eggs doon yer throats. I have to confess that I did, not only did I
have ma own Easter eggs to contend with, but poor wee Olly could
nae eat his own eggs, so Papa just had to help him with it, aye
its tough being a Papa sometimes!!
Gary Shouts, “Hilary where’s the number for the dentist?”
My apologies for my no show last month but I heard Theresa went
down well and gave everyone there that day a taster session. I
always miss all the guid stuff!!
Well we could nae have scared her off as she
said she would return and do a group session if we wished,
so I will wait for
feedback from those there, to see if we take up Theresa’s offer.

Can I apologise again this time to people whom I said I would
get to their events they had on, unfortunately due to one thing
and
another I was out of the Borders quite a bit in the first half
of April, I’m really sorry and hope all events were a success.
Tell you what .................. can I
apologise once more, this time for the date mix up, being as
inefficient as ever I
gave the wrong date for the Coffee Morning in Hawick. Sorry
Helen.
I’m sure the day was a success even with ma misprint
oops!
So that’s all ma apologies sorted and put oot the way, please
fill yer cup up and enjoy yer newsletter and we’ll catch ye next
month.....................
