Some may have wondered why we have been not good in answering emails recently. Well apart from the crap internet connection we have here that puts me off going online, Brigitte was in hospital for a week and had an operation. She is at home now but will take weeks/months before she is back to normal.
So in an emergency it may be better to phone us and the phone number for those who do not have it is on the web site under “impressum” Emails will be much slower than normal as we will have to rely a bit more on help from friends on the office side. For those who may not realise, “The Goldie Whistle Empire” consists of myself and Brigitte 
Thanks

So sorry to hear the news, Colin. From conversations I’ve had with you, it makes me shake my head in disbelief and wonder. You don’t say what the operation was but I will be thinking of you both and praying for an early recovery. Get better soon, Brigitte! You take care too, Colin.

Colin, sorry to hear about the troubles Brigitte is having and it is my sincere wish that she recovers quickly. Please give her my best and my thoughts are with you both in this difficult time.

Sending good thoughts, Colin, for Brigitte’s quick convalescence!
Indeed. Thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery and for your business to go smoothly while she’s on the mend. Please be sure to take care of yourself while you’re taking care of Brigitte!
Best wishes,
Jerry
Colin,
I had written to Brigitte just a bit over a week ago and was wondering why I had not heard back from her as it is completely out of character for her. As a result of our business dealings, I consider you both more as friends. I cannot imagine how much more difficult things are for you without her working by your side.
My thoughts and prayers are with both yourself and Brigitte. I wish her a full recovery as soon as possible. Please extend my well wishes to her. Take care Colin.
Best wishes,
Cayden
Yep, all the best to Brigitte, who I’ve found unfailingly friendly, helpful and interested even though I’ve not actually bought anything!
Add me to the list of those sending good thoughts your way. Brigitte has been a source of lots of good information out here and we appreciate it. Since my wife has had some 40 or so operations I know what you are going through. Be sure to take care of yourself as well as of her!
