A bit of a catch up for those who are interested! After making the decision to stop, there was a lot of admin involved in enacting it. I...

An early blog today to let those people who are concerned know what’s happening at least for the time being. My physio from Bakewell...

Another day that didn’t turn out the way I’d expected. But sadly this one was not as good as yesterday. I had an early breakfast chatting...
