Hi Everyone.
I am making this entry to tell Everyone.......

Tomorrow 5yrs ago,Matt had his Bone Marrow Transplant!!
For those that don't know, Emma at the time was 9 was a 100% match!!

A BIG thanks to everyone who helped and supported us through the toughest 6mths in Bristol Hosp and who continue to think about us.

To CLIC, who again without them??????

To Everyone who raised money for CLIC, Matt and his quad which is still going!!

Well, 5yrs on and as you all can see Matt is Healthy and Strong.
Enjoying a normal life here in Limousin France.

He still goes to Limoges CHU for 6monthly check-ups and due for blood test in Feb 09.

We will be having a quiet drink for him as he doesn't want a fuss!!

Matt loves his bike and often cycles to Chalus which is 15mins away by car.
On Saturday he had a problem with the bike so off he sets for the cycle shop in Chalus to have a look. It took him 10mins to get there!!
Emma is Emma!! loves the PC and her horse Spirit.
Emma is now taking German and her first test she got 17.5 out of 20, really great.
Matt I think is settling down at College, they both went up a year.

We have had a fantastic year with the veg plot, over 60kgs of runner beans, our 2 freezers are full and I have started to use our friends one too..

In total we have 104 chickens various ages, 3 Turkeys (Jenni, Bubba and Gump)
12 Rabbits. Max and Rocky the Mad Dogs, Buttons and Brambles the cats.Horrace the pig who resides at a friends place for the moment anyway, then.....November.

Well, I will update if there is anymore news.

Ok, All Take Care

Thank You.
