SUSPENSION

Suspension!!!!

Struck down by illness.

Edith had got a severe cold whilst in Pescara waiting for the weather to clear. She went to a local doctor to get some relief for it and reacted violently to the prescription. She ended up in accident and emergency with severe difficulties breathing. She was like a hedgehog with a variety of needles being stuck into her. More frightening for her was a slowdown in cardiac activity. It was apparently touch and go. Gerard has been shaken by the experience.

Luckily she has now recovered from the crisis and is being flown back to England to recover properly.

I spoke to them both yesterday evening and they are determined to return to Pescara and complete the journey in the spring.

Let us wish them well and many congratulations on their effort, so far it has been magnificent!
