Hi David and Myrea<\/p>\n
Aimee and I were out for lunch today with a very good friend of ours who had traveled through from Dundee to spend the day with us. We were looking in the Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow when we saw Myrea’a wonderful fairies in the Thornton’s shop there. Naturally we name-dropped to say that they had been created by a very good friend of ours and happened to mention that the fairies world website was sooooo… worth a visit.<\/p>\n
I secretly spied some wonderful boxes that will make their way into Santa’s sack before the big day<\/p>\n
Myrea – we think you are simply wonderful – what a special gift to be able to share with others what you sense and feel about the fairy world. Thank you both too for the wonderful pack of fairy art and books that you gifted to the Queens Hotel for their fund raiser – they were very much sought after items.<\/p>\n
I have worked with the staff at the Queens Hotel for a number of years and count them amongst my friends.. I had not reaslied how distressed they felt at Aimee’s relapse and the setbacks that followed. I also learned for the first time on the night that they are avid followers of Aimee’s progress on the fairies world website. The fund raiser was a highly successful event with some 80 ladies from the business community in Dundee and together they raised \u00c2\u00a33000 to help with our plans to take to Aimee to Hawaii when she is fit enough to go. There is also enough to help a little with Santa’s sack to make sure that Leigh and Aimee are well taken care of at Christmas. I was delighted that on the night Rosemary Richardson won a marvellous marks and spencers gift hampers in the raffle.<\/p>\n
I also learned that the Scottish blood bank are to change their recruitment procedures early next year to allow first time blood donors to also become bone marrow donors – bringing the service into line with England and Wales. This is something I have been campaigning for since the Spring – it is such an important step forward I hope it helps to swell the ranks considerably. It means that blood donors aged between 18 and 45 can take the necessary steps to register as a bone marrow donor from day one. I was also deeply moved that a couple of the lady guests at the Queen’s Hotel fundraiser spoke to me about becoming donors after hearing about Aimee’s story.<\/p>\n
David – some of the above might we worth an update on the website to say a very special thank you to the Queens Hotel and to help spread the word about Myrea’s wonderful chocolate fairies<\/p>\n
light and love<\/p>\n
