Silent too long



nor all thy piety nor all thy wit can 

Hi

Well it has been a long time.  Too long.

Jock died in July 2012.  In February 2013 specialists diagnosed my oesophageal cancer, YPT3 YPN1 MO CRM positive.  Chemotherapy and Ivor Lewis Oesophagectomy followed.

I am now marching up the road to recovery.   It is time to start hitting the keyboard again.  

However first things first.

Thank you Addenbrookes Hospital.

Thank you oncology team.

Thank you surgery team.

Thank you all, friends who have been so wonderful.

Thank you for your thoughts, help, wishes and prayers.

You, and they, have made a difference.  Hilary and I are truly grateful.

Once again it is
