Well folks we have just returned from a few days away in out motorhome to celebrate another wedding anniversary. We thought I was lucky to get to 40 last year! We met up with some of the friends that were with us when we had to leave our last meet because I was so poorly. They were absolutely amazed to see me walking, and with quite a lot of hair after their last sight of me 8 weeks ago.

No word from the hospital, but I shall chase them next week as things have gone so quickly here. Last Saturday I walked round the show at Newbury, but this Friday it is as much as I can do to get up and go to the loo without having to recover afterwards. My chest has been so tight, and I have had…
