Last orders at the Crow's Nest! John first cooked up this idea last summer. A way to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease research, and to have a bit of a challenge. When he asked who wanted to join the ‘fun’ I foolishly put my hand up . He said it would be about 30… Continue reading Cycle Trip: Lincoln to Liverpool – Day 4 (The final day!)

Cycle Trip: Lincoln to Liverpool – Day 3
If you’d told me to get on a bike again after the end of day 2 I may have told you that I was throwing in the towel.

A Eulogy for Our Dad
Mr Bhikhubhai Dajibhai Mistry (23rd Dec 1938 – 4th July 2021) Jai Shree Krishna. We’d like to say a few words here about Dad’s life and what he meant for us. We set out to organise Dad’s funeral this week and I suspect, absolutely no-one who knew Dad, will be surprised that he was ahead… Continue reading A Eulogy for Our Dad
