To that end, on Monday I will be circulating a card for you all to sign and an accompanying envelope for contributions, so please could you bring something to put in it (whatever amount you feel you would like to give). If anyone has any brilliant ideas for a present, please let me know by Monday - otherwise I am intending to get a garden voucher (as I believe she enjoys gardening) and perhaps an exotic shrub of some sort, depending on the amount raised. <br></div><div id="yiv5183112184yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497961972198_4204" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yiv5183112184yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497961972198_4204" dir="ltr">Although the last year has had its ups and downs, Erica definitely came to our rescue at a time when we needed help urgently and has shown endless patience with us, not to mention great generosity of spirit throughout, so it seems only fitting that we, in turn, now show our appreciation of all the work she has done on our behalf whilst wielding the baton.</div><div id="yiv5183112184yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497961972198_4204" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yiv5183112184yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497961972198_4204" dir="ltr">Best wishes and thank you</div><div id="yiv5183112184yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497961972198_4204" dir="ltr">Phyllida </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
