Apologies for the lack of recent updates - it's all been a bit complicated! A couple of weeks ago I suffered a heart attack. I'm fine, and living only a ten minute blue light run from Papworth, one of the world's finest cardiac units, was...

Only money! It seems to be disappearing at a very quick rate with some hefty bills coming in from leaky finders. What’s great to see though is the progress they have made. I’ll post some boiler pics soon but in the meantime here are the latest...
