Hi Melody,

I'm so pleased you have spent some time looking through everything, at least it's kept you out of mischief for a few hours!!

Kind regards

Pat.

pat, i am full of admiration for norman and yourself, you both have a steely determination not to be dragged down by normans illness. One day at a time, as the song goes, we have never met but our connection through our beloved prams gives me an insight to the lovely lady that you are. I follow your blog on norman and my thoughts and prayers are with you both.
can i ask you a technical question, my versailles pram is due down to you in the middle of april depending on your circumstances, but i need to know what shade of white the prams are sprayed so i can get the chassis of the pram done, i know it,s a silly question but not all whites are white, so i have been told.
My best wishes to you and norman

Hi April

Thank you for your lovely comments, it's such a good feeling to read your messages on here.

Re your Versailles, I shall ask my painter Dave to use a Winter White which isn't Brilliant White, so if you do the same we may stand a chance of matching them up. The original colour was called Snowdrop but I think Wilson named the colours so they aren't a universal colour name. However, if you want to wait until I see Dave and find out exactly which colour he is using then I can email you with the colour and you can get the same one.

Kind regards
Pat.

Hello Pamela

Thank you for your heartfelt comments and advice. We are just living as we normally do, with him ordering me about and me taking no notice!! At least we both have a sense of humour which has brought us through many trials and even though this last trial can't be trivialised we do make light of certain things, we find it easier to cope with them that way. Norman has given me lots of good advice, making sure I take it all in and promise not to forget what he's told me. We are treating it as though he is going on a flight into space and won't be home for a while, I know it sounds a bit silly for people of our age, but it helps to sort of keep the door open rather than see it as the end of everything.

Keep safe

Pat.

hello my friend,
the pictures of norman, with the boys are, well, just beautiful pat.. that is the vision in my mind of norman, a big cuddle teddy bear, with a sense of humour to match!.. the wonderful warm sunny times we had only last year...
keep going, you have to, and you know that....the frustration you are enduring must be beyond words, this i have said to you many times...
i send you our love and support as always pat, and to our mate normie also...
the little cat naps you have will do you the world of good, and are probably the best quality sleeps you will have...it has been a bumpy ride for you both, but hopefully your family and friends will try and cushion you as best we can.... with our love r and j x

Yes you're right Jac, last year was one of the best, we had some wonderful moments didn't we! I won't ever forget the "Danger Explosives" prank!!! Pxxx
