It happened just over four weeks ago so I’m well on the road to recovery now. I was in A for about four hours - you go to the front of the queue if you have a head injury, so I was seen and treated straight away. Once my head had cleared I noticed they’d written ‘?stroke’ against my name on

The bike wasn’t particularly damaged apparently. The helmet was a write-off, of course, but they must be insured for that sort of thing. I’ll try and make it to Dorset. I’m trying to plan my hols at the moment, which were going to involve a vintage bike ride in France that week, but I think

At least it was someone else's bike (as all the motorcyclists on here will be thinking) but full marks for commitment. We will be in Dorset first week of July, if you are healed and fancy meeting up. > On 17/03/2023 19:02 Bob W PDML wrote: > > > That sounds very unpleasant and

That sounds very unpleasant and disabling, I hope you make a quick and complete recovery. It was a motorbike mishap for me. I was doing my compulsory basic training with a view to buying a 125-equivalent electric motorbike. When the instructor dropped his arm to signal an emergency stop I

Wandering is wonderfully healing after a loss and sadness of such magnitude..  especially in the natural world. I spent  over 3 months wandering coast to coast in US and Canada after months of caregiving my sweetheart in 1993 ... we will be expecting lots of wonderful photos of course! ann On

We'll be in the UK in May, finishing up the final third of our Pennine Way walk and doing some general wandering. We arrive in London on May 9 but we'll probably only be there for a day or two before heading north for the walk. We're spending most of our time in The North (eckythump!) but still
