Default Our Friend Supersprout - R.I.P.
As alot of you have noticed our Member Of The Month Supersprout has been absent from the forum.

Sadly Sarah is very ill and is currently in a hospice. I have arranged to have flowers delivered to her from everyone at the Grapevine and if you would like to add a message to this thread I will make sure that they are all added to a card and sent to Sarah.

Sarah my thoughts and prayers are with you and Will. I hope you start feeling brighter very soon.

Lesley xx

Since writing this thread the very sad news has been received that Sarah passed away in the early hours this morning.

Dear Sarah, I sincerely hope you recover your health soon. I hope there is a garden in your hospice so you can advise them as well as you advise us!

Missing your help and humour, best wishes Manda - you know you can't just leave us with all these JAs!
