Blog Posted:12/25/2022 1:05:00 AM

Hi folks, this is a short message to let you all know that Harry J Horsman is ill, he has been in hospital but wanted to go home, he may or may not be back for a while, he is very ill and has been for months, but kept it to himself. I am sure he would love any get well message but please don't expect personal replies, at least not yet, he needs time to recover and it may be a slow job, but knowing Harry it will be as quick as is humanly possible. you can contact me for info through the soup mail. Mandy Tams, (golden girl)
