I'm not sure where to put this sad notice, as it's not exactly "chit chat". Carol had whippets and smooth collies (and horses) and lived in Swindon. She was in intensive care and although rallying, I read that she has died, around the same time as her 53rd birthday. If you knew Carol you may wish to send condolences to her family. I didn't know Carol personally, but had heard she was ill and was shocked to hear of her death.
