We had met Leon a few weeks previously however and had a long chat. He is doing fine, single handling and adjusting to the large gap in his life now that Rae is no longer by his side.<br /><br />Re the header...managed to finally load a pic. I thought I would give it a go after seeing Baxter showing his undersides to the world...blogger accepted my offering rather than telling me to bog-off which it normally did.<br />XLesleyNb Yarwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806115768980012184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490581806872830289.post-40025571700985163722013-10-17T23:39:00.267+01:002013-10-17T23:39:00.267+01:00Is Leon doing Ok?
