Heading for Blighty in May. Will be visiting Portugal for my nephew's wedding in portimao. Any suggestions.

Best wishes for Christmas and 2021.

Stay healthy and hoping to get out more in 2021 - only the Wheely Bin got out more than us.

Cheers

Hi All, Just to let you all know that I went to hospital last Wednesday, for a major MoT.

I had the full team there all wanting to have a look at me, and, find out exactly what the problems were.

Well, I had all sorts of graphs, Cardiograph, Echographs and Telegraphs.

The answer they came up with after a couple of hours poking round me was, that I was perfect.

By that I mean, my heart was superb, although still in Atrial Fibrillation (Which they are not bothered about), the triple bypass was successful, and, were happy with,and, my Aortic Valve Replacement was superb.

They then instructed me to start getting back to full health again, but, I had to take it very easy.

Sadly, they also said that I had to lose weight, which, I already knew about.

It was mentioned that I lose 2 stones, and, when I argued that I was nearly 20 stone, they changed their minds, and, advised a wee bit more poundage off.

I have no qualms with that. I was told it should take about another year before I am back to any semblance of my former self. With this I am very happy.

I can now start on the long trail home. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and, I have a goal to reach now.

Well, there we have it, the next update should be in about 12 months time.

Cheers.

Hi all.
Just to let you know that I finally retired last month. Just had a holiday to celebrate and hope to see some of you at Taunton next year. Regards to all of you. Mike.

Just a quick note to all those who ask about Dave (Jock) Kelly.
I had a quick chat with him this evening to wish him Happy New Year as he does not do Facebook anymore.
He is recovering from a serious stroke that he had. He has reduced mobility in his left leg but has been advise it will get better with time (About a Year) Otherwise he was in great spirits and although not being about to see the new year in with a wee dram, he is planning to perhaps be back at a reunion in about a year.
Many of us will know that Dave has been off coms for some time now. The reason for this is that he does not want to be bombarded with calls etc. I know how he feels as I felt the same way when I was going through my cancer recovery. We all know Dave and he is not a sympathy seeker. So, he does not answer his calls. But Dave seems to be Indestructible. Survived two heart attacks and two strokes. I gave him all the best from the Denbury boys, and he appreciated my call.
God willing, we will all come back from this Pandemic bigger better stronger.
You Guys have the best time ever tonight. C U all in 2021
