      Brilliant. You’re more organised than me: you’ve got actual books! Hope to be sharing my sick scribbles again some day over the rainbow, if I can remember how to do it! Where’s a millionaire when ye need one?!….oh they’re too busy being politicians! X

    Hi Lorna

    Just lovely to see you, looking gorgeous I may say….hope you are feeling a good deal better…I have been fortunate and avoided you know what despite my senior years. No longer Alba woman …inappropriate for me at this time!

    Remember Lorna, Fortune favours the Brave and boy you are so brave. I will light a candle that financial good fortunes follows soon for you.

    When is the painting going up for auction? Love ❤️ It…beautifully drawn as ever. Alice
