I guess having lived almost next door to them in Scotland for a few years I am a bit biased. Also too meeting her in Lambeth Palace in March and seeing just how many hands she shakes in a day, how long she is on her feet and the number of speeches she makes and at age 86 does increase my respect for…

- Hi Modgala, it was nice meeting you after so long, my mum who was with me on an introductory retreat in, I think, 2004 could have been 2005, says hello. I also want to say thank you for a lovely service I enjoyed the last bit especially where we remembered individuals, the ladies I support held on to this and in the car on the way home reeled off all the people and animals that they had lost, it was quite a list.
Hope to see you again soon
