    Wanders in back to the UK, sits on suitcase and bursts into tears.

    First, hugs to you all and your families, sorry if I have missed anything of achievements etc.

    As some of you know OH flew out to be with me for the last part of my holiday as he couldn’t get the time off work. On the 3rd day he suffered a major accident, (and by all accounts was about 2 mins away from dying) He is alive and nothing is broken, but it is going to take time for him to recover, I have spent the last week in the local hospital looking after him, etc etc. I brought him back to the UK yesterday with me.

    Owing to various insurance companies ‘investigating’ / apportioning blame etc over what happened blah blah, I will not be putting anything about the accident on the public forum, as you never know who is lurking, and it may jeopardise things.

    So for now I am dropping out of reporting all flying and I have OH to look after, you can be assured I will be flying as there is only so much bandaging etc I can do, but hopefully the local dr’s are going to help me, with that (off to ring them in a bit)

    Look after yourselves, I’ll be back
