So, quick update for you. Foot infection has become irreversible and only one course of action remains. To thus end, I am back for another week or so at the Turner Road Hilton and today I'm going the surgery to have half of my right foot removed. Can't say I'm overjoyed at the prospect but, as I've said, there is no other sensible choice. Anyway, if anyone should want to pop by then I'm on Wivenhoe ward but obviously not today.

Evening everyone.

Some disappointing news for you I'm afraid, we are not going to be open this Christmas.

I'm currently residing in Colchester General Hospital with a nasty foot / blood infection requiring high level antibiotics injections with no release date in sight.

Believe me, no one is more disappointed by this than me but there really is nothing I can do but apologise to you all.

Hope you have a great festive season anyway and hopefully we will be back open in the not too distant.
