South Wales - a Precis

We packed up and left Cam at 10 AM. Today was a little cooler and a bit wetter, but it was just a variation of the misty grey weather we seem to be getting at the moment. This trip was mostly motorway (M5, then M4 from memory). We crossed the new Severn Suspension Bridge with the towers looming out of the mist. Probably spectacular on a clear day. The weather deteriorated to steady rain as we drove past Cardiff and Swansea. We heard later that there had been flooding in that area.

We got to Colin and Stephanie’s by early afternoon. There, we had some bad news. Colin had been rushed to hospital by ambulance shortly before we arrived with a heart attack. Stephanie left to go in, and we made ourselves comfortable. Stepanie arrived back later that evening. Colin was being moved to a ward from A&E.

The following morning, after a great breakfast (we are still doing those) we went for a nice walk in the neighbouring lanes. Visiting time at the hospital was 2 PM, and we went in to see Colin. Glad to see him propped up in bed and awake. He is being assessed on Monday - we will keep in touch.

Get well soon Colin, and thanks to Stephanie and Caroline for looking after us when we shouldn’t have been a priority.Читать далее
