Aren't I gorgeous? Yes? Yes!
OK, OK I know you have spotted that this is Emmylou Harris not Pamela Flynn. But I am working on it and this is what I am aiming for. (I can aim, I might not hit)
I am not colouring my hair anymore. There, I have said it.
My name is Pam and I am a natural grey...Yeah!
More to follow.....going up to hospital to see Paul. He is doing fine...Lots of love...Emmy, er sorry Pam
Update: Just back from the hospital and Paul is doing fine. It is our 30th wedding anniversary today and we toasted it with plastic cups of iced water! We are putting off celebrating until he is home. Happy Anniversary love! Love you xxx Pam
I just brought him up a little fairy to mark the day and here she is on the right of the little one Marie (our son's girlfriend) gave him. It is well known that Paul likes his fairies and frogs.
And here is the first picture of the lovely man. I took it from his good side ('cos you don't want to be seeing the other side. (If you DO you have to go to his Facebook page where it is going up specially for the son of a friend of ours who loves gross things as young boys tend to) They don't put a dressing on these op wounds these days for some reason. I had to cut away part of his pj's as they were dragging on part of it. It's hard to stop looking at it though when you are with him. He says people are talking to his neck!
He also says to tell you all that your kindness and such has been great help to him as it has for me. xxxxx Paul & Pam
LOL, I go through stages like that then decide I just can't stand it anymore and going and get it coloured again! Go for it girl and swish that wonderful hair around!

OK, I wanna see pictures of your lovely Grey hair! You'd be gorgeous balk - but let's not try that one, OK?
Paul looks amazing! We are soo relieved and proud of him ( and you!) We know it's so hard not only to be the patient, but also the care-giver-loved-one because you're in it but not "in it" if you know what I mean- and we all do love to have control, don't we?
The Angels and the frogs (Fully Rely On God) are singing (and croaking) out his name.."Go Paul..Go Paul.."

Hi Pam:
So glad for you and Paul. He looks great!
I also wanted to let you know I started a flickr group for striped pottery, Cornishware and Carrigaline type in colours other than blue, I thought you may wish to add some photos if you have any. Here is the link:

Wishing you both all the best,

Hi Pam,
I made the decision to stop coloring a few years ago......and I have no regets. It is, what it is.
Paul looks wonderful. He'll have a nice scar to tell his grandchildren about. You know, the one where Paul was captured by pirates.....and during the swashbuckling sword fight that ensued.....Arrrgh, the scurvy knave caught him with the tip of his sword, just before Paul finished him off. Yeah, that one!
A very HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both.
Best Wishes,
Kay

What color is Irish White? My grandma had premature white hair from high school on but always colored it black (my grandpa is a proud cock and didn't want anyone to think he was with an old lady. Yes he's a twit). Of course this has passed on to me in a smaller dose and tell ya what random white with Norwegian brown is not that cool. ;)
