As many of you will have heard, I’ve recently been through the wars including a spell in intensive care.

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the amazing care I received in our marvellous Gloucestershire Royal Hospital who set me back on the road to recovery. I’m feeling so much better now, that’s for sure.

I even missed this year’s Gloucester Day but the great team managed brilliantly without me and the day went off without a hitch.

And to everyone who has been in touch to wish me well, thank you!
