Having been distracted by septic tanks, I completely forgot to join my colleagues in wishing Jody Blake every happiness in future. While it may be a cliché, the saying that one's health is one's wealth is true. I am aware Jody has taken the decision somewhat reluctantly on medical advice. We are all sorry that is the case and this is a sad day for us. I have served with Jody over a long period and have always found her to be courteous, co-operative and friendly. She brings many qualities to her office and I wish her every happiness in future.
