Congratulations on a super win, Belle. Sorry to hear of Alan’s setback. Hope he’ll be back on track soon. Terry

Thank you very much Terry. Alan is slowly recovering, he can’t come to terms with all that has happened to him over the last three months, he is very weak and devastated emotionally… Belle

Thanks again Victor, Alan is back after having gone back to hospital for a week, he’s definitely better in himself but needs to get back on his feet, no improvement with that yet. Belle

Thank you Tom. Alan went back into hospital last week, he was dehydrated, they’ve now hydrated him and given him a blood transfusion, plus iron tablets to take. We’re waiting for the carers to be reinstated before they let him home again. It seems to be a never ending saga… Belle
