...There was smoking, and obesity and .... well you know the rest. A trip down AML lane led to a bone marrow transplant and all seemed well until COPD came along.

So, if the one doesn't get you the other one will - only slower!

I am late in years now. Started out as a journalist (sorry people) and then switched to Press and Public Relations. Oddly now that seemed more honest but then phone hacking had not been invented. Mind you blagging had and we did some of that (mea culpa).

One lovely wife and two lovely daughters followed by three wonderful grandchildren. Life achievement, what?

Now we have caravan and travel. We try to stay out of the UK in winter (southern Spain is warmer and drier).

Life in Norfolk is pretty sweet - so much less traffic than London and the South East but don't spread it around.

So that's it - I puff daily, pop pills and mostly stay cheerful. Good food (tq Janet) and a little wine help. The dog stretches my legs if not his own.

Cheers, Timberman.

I have severe COPD. Still I do manage to get out and exercise. Fortunately I have a Blue Badge which makes life a little easier. Personally I think it is about what you can do and not about what you can't.

Anyway, you look well and very happy.

Regards

Malinka
