Poor old Dame Joan the famous lady singer, whose image appears on the home page of this forum, has had a most unpleasant accident in her Swiss garden, having fallen over and broken several leg bones. It shows how important it is always to take care, watch one's diet and not become brittle does it not? (We have several times slid down wet slopes in our own garden and now intend to start work on the construction of proper steps to-morrow. What is perhaps worse is the possibility of its happening to visitors who might as a result turn against us and sue for millions.) So - we wish her a not too uncomfortable and speedy convalescence!
