Hi Shirley, just wanted to say hello. I’ve been thinking about you and just wanted to let you know I should be in Westcliff next week and would love to say hello to you in person. Of course I won’t be offended if you prefer I didn’t. We can do it when you are ready. In the meanwhile I will neaaage you again soon. Take care Delilah x

Hi Shirley, I've been thinking about you and your family and wanted to say hello and see how you are all doing. This week the rain has returned for the first time in weeks. You'd think we'd never seen rain before but we've all been talking about how wonderful it is and standing out in it! The air has smelt wonderful and fresh. Hot flushes during a heatwave have not been fun so it's a welcome relief! The other lovely scent recently has been that of the sweet, ripening blackberries. The best ones seem to be behind fences, next to railway lines or way up high out of reach. I'm picking and eating what I can and freezing some for some cosy winter crumbles. I'm hoping the summer weather does last us a bit longer and not disappear as soon as the kids go back to school! Sending love and big hugs, Maxine xxx

Hi Shirley, It's been ages and I must admit I'm missing your visits. With life getting back to "normal" such as no PPE in the clinic, no pre screening etc and people back to busy social lives, holidays and the usual stresses they entail the one normal thing missing is your visits to the Barn, our chats and your positivity you always brought with you. I've tried to step out and opened up my own treatment rooms closer to home I would have loved your feedback on it all. It's been a journey and a great learning curve lol. Don't worry,M still at Barn Mews. When you're up to a viiamd if I'm allowed to I'd love to come and give you some treatment, just to spoil you a little. Remember you're always in our thoughts and in my prayers. Sending you all my love and blessings from the Almighty. Love Norma

Hi Shirley, how are you doing? I thought I’d just message you until you are ok about me visiting you - hope you don’t mind. So, last time I wasn’t working and now I only tend to do jobs for a few days because my husbands eye sight is really bad he is now registered as severely partially sighted , but we are coping well. I’m making sure we don’t make things a big deal. I’ve just finished invigilating at my sons old school so that’s all over. Now I’m struggling with the heat!!! I know I shouldn’t complain but 24 degrees is too much for me. It tires me out! A little news on my side - Charlotte is working and living in London and Luke is working in London and still living at home. How are your girls. Waiting to see you hopefully soon beautiful lady .

Hi Shirley! Today I spoke to my daughter Charlotte who you may remember did her first holy communion with Joelle. She gave me the news about you . I feel very sad and upset at the struggle you’ve had. I know what a loving caring family you have and I’m sorry I left it so long to get in touch I blame Covid but really that’s no excuse. I would really like to come and see you yo say hello and just let you know I am thinking of you and your whole family. I’m no good at this as just the news has made me very emotional. So, apologies if I’ve not expressed myself properly. I understand if you don’t want visitors but if ever you feel you would it would me happy to come to see you. Lots of love Delilah x

Hi Shirley, I was happy to hear you're settling in well into your new accommodation. I was even happier to hear you're able to receive more visitors. I can't believe how long your hair has grown! The Barn misses you, I miss our chats and must say thanks to Joelle who has been amazing listening to my chit chat about the latest TV programs and tasty treats, she's a mini you. It would be lovely to pay you a visit when the time is right. As always my prayer group and family say a little prayer for you and your lovely family when we meet up. Will check in again soon maybe a voicenote, I have so much to tell you. God bless x Love and blessings Norma

Hi Shirley, you've been in my thoughts. I just read the update about you moving to Westcliff-on-Sea so when we're able to come and visit I'd very much like to come and spend some time with you. Sending much love to you and your family, Maxine xxx

Hi Shirley, remembering all the nights out and in over the past 15 years or more. Always lots of laughs with my Mill House friends! Hopefully we will be able to share cocktails again in the future. Be strong you beautiful lady.

Hi Shirley,

We went to school together and met up several times at school reunions. We communicated on Facebook on our different posts and you kindly messaged me in July 2021 about my treatment for my lungs. We had a lovely chat and wished each other well.  Keep strong beautiful lady and I hope the love and support of your loved ones gives you extra strength and hope each day.  Thinking of you Shirley with love and hope. Michelle Savage xxx

Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you...

lyrics from a song close to my heart to yours - seeing you every day makes me smile, happy and sad, but I know we can fight this. For you are a strong, determined, and courageous woman, who I fell in love with and still in love with over 34yrs ago!   You keep fighting and  we will continue supporting no matter what - I love you Shirley Batour x

Be strong, be determined, be courageous  - you have all these attributes in abundance, this is why I fell for you x 

We all know you have it in you to get through this, your family and friends have our back, so you only need to worry about  recovery, nothing else. 

Our girls have been expectational in these recent  difficult times and I need to acknowledge this in public to those who read and keep up to date with our Shirley's progress.

Here is a reminder of  us just about to shoot off to Mauritius, looking pretty please with ourselves and why not!!
I hope we can do this again soon x

We and I love you Shirley Batour - your boo x

Hi Shirley, As usual the Barn is super busy especially with the run up to Christmas. Sadly we won't be running our usual open evening which I remember you enjoyed so much. I've been sharing your journey with my prayer buddies and the ladies all send their love and best wishes for you, Jean and the girls. Really missing our convos and your beautiful smile. Glad your rehab has begun. Still praying for you. Chat soon x Norma
