Default went to see Hovis' mum..

hey all.

me down in Newport/caerphilly for 6 weeks for one thing and another so i took the opportunity of popping to see Hovis' mum and taking her some flowers and a card off the org.

she was not in.. saw here neighbour .. who said she is actually in Hospital with her blood sugar levels.. left the items above with her to take to hospital.

I thne went up to the little church we went to on the day of his funeral and it was lovely- so serene - so sunny and all daffodils out .. YELLOW of course.. I shed a tear dont mind admitting it..

as it was not the right thing to take pics on the day of jis funeral and took a few with my phone of the church and lovely views for those that didnt make it on the day - will post them when I get home thursday pm as I dont have my cable .. and then I went to the gym in Caerphilly where he worked and asked in reception and they showed me the plaque (sp) on the wall in memory of him inthe gym there-

all in all it was a lovely hour with nice memories and the sun shining.. very very peaceful up there in the hills.. and as you will see the quaint church is right next to a pub ! very apt for Hovis

I just put on the card similar words to

Dear Mrs Furness
Just to let you know that David is never forgotten and will always be remembered by the ORG . from everyone at sv650.org.



just I am in the area and as I live so far away I thought would be nice to call. would have been nicer to have had a beer with the funny bugger but hey ...


pics to follow

Very admirable that you went. I always think that as time passes people forget how painful it is for those closest to the person. It's nice that you left the card. I hope she gets out of the hospital soon.
