Hello Fellow Community Members
As some of you may be aware 2021 was one of the Covid years. It was also the year that Lorraine (Mrs Millibob) and I both had, shall we say "life changing events" with stays in hospital. Once we were both on the mend Lorraine decided we should have a family holiday before any further of the aforementioned "life changing events" came along. So after 18 months planning:
We will be away from Thursday evening 18 July to Monday evening 12 August 2024. Lorraine and I are off to France, along with our 4 adult children, all 4 partners, all 3 grand children (one only 3 weeks old) oh and all 6 family dogs. As you can expect I will be rather busy so I won't be as active on the Community during this period (although I will pop on if I get chance!!).
The Community Team are aware of my holidays and some of the other Community Champions will be watching over "my flock".
I am sure that you will all continue to offer support to both new and current Community members in the very positive way you all do. Our Community is the top rated peer to peer prostate cancer Community - let's keep it that way. Thank you to each and everyone of you who continue to provide support to people who start out as strangers and end up being great friends.
To quote Arnie "I'll be back".
Best wishes to all.

Well we are almost there - another day and it's off we go - and do you know what - I haven't even started packing yet. I have noticed in the last few weeks an increase in deliveries from clothing and shoe shops addressed to Lorraine though.
Thanks again for all of your good wishes.
(Oh Buzzers something has already happened and will be a nice introduction to my book!! 
).
Kind regards - Brian.

Do we have to wait until the publishing date to find out what it was, or are you planning on drip feeding hints 
Good Morning Team
This is my first log-on for well over a week. Just to say all is well. We have had an amazing time on 2 boats for a week on The Canal du Midi and are now all safe and enjoying the wine, beer and cheese (and weight gain) in a Gite about 60 miles inland from Bordeaux.
Thanks for looking after one another and I will be back to resume normal service in a couple of weeks.
Love to you all - Brian.
