Well done Willie and AlanS. Just goes to show that we read these reports day in and day out and never realise all the things that go on in the background, the trials and tribulations of daily life that we all have to cope with. Sometimes that's what this walking lark is all about, getting the time, the peace, the perspective to deal with all that life throws at us and get through it. And by the sounds of things that's what you and your wife have done.
Not often a report moves me Willie but yours did. Great achievement for you personally and glad to hear your wife is in a good place just now. You're a very lucky man.
PS. Very, very jealous, those pics are brilliant!
