The NHS is great when it works but, unfortunately, that depends a lot on where you are and who's running your service. FIL had a dreadful time - not being diagnosed for eye troubles which led to him being almost blind, not being diagnosed for lung cancer so a rapid and painful decline when it was too late to help, MIL not being diagnosed with dementia - only got that sorted and FIL's stuff after a visit to us in Belgium and I had to get the other SIL/DIL on the case - home helps, day care and so on and she lives 200 miles away but did go down and sort stuff.
60k sounds a bit excessive, even with lots of kit. I am discovering I may have too many spices....
Your cottage kitchen looks very calm and pretty without being frilly. Went for dinner in Austin, Texas once with a colleague of OH when he was there for 4 months in 1988 and she had adopted the whole frontier style - patchwork, gingham, swags, hearts and bows everywhere. Antidote to her OH perhaps - hunter, shooter, fisher who drove round with a rifle strapped to his Ute and liked to be in bed by 10pm. Been abroad once, in the early 80s and thought London was mad because he couldn't get dinner at 6pm and too much traffic.
Wonky needs to take lots of photos and mark pieces with a good marker pen.

Hosta - good news on the NHS front - so far we've been very fortunate with the care we and other family members have received.
BL - nice kitchen - I like black and white kitchens
Dove - sorry I haven't used or visited Norfolk herbs. Although I was looking at their website the other day. Is that me being spooky again or did you mention them in despatches a couple of weeks ago?
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
We have had another dreadfully worrying time with the new baby. Rushed to hospital last night with croup, a bad dose and after being so ill recently. They transferred him to a specialist unit an hour out of Moscow! The medical care seems excellent and they don't take any chances but it's the inability to communicate that is so difficult. Daughter was not allowed to go on the ward with him for 3 hours and she had no idea what was happening Of course there are no translators around during the night.
Still no sign of a passport. Would give anything to be in the uk and with the Nhs
waiting for the electricity people to fit new meter or I would be out there, my greenhouse is my therapy room!

Oh LilyP ((hugs)) positive vibes heading to Moscow for your grandson and all who are caring for him.
As I think you know my ex DIL is Russian, and she speaks very highly of medical treatment in Russia - she has certainly had very good care there, but I know it's useless telling you not to worry ((hugs)).
Topbird, I may have mentioned it ......

Don't envy her Dove, even with instructions it took us a while to put ours together.
Good luck Wonky - positive vibing
