UPDATE

Wow- is it really 6 weeks since the last blog - how time flies. I just want to give you all an update than have another break but then do a regular blog from September. So what has happened since the last posting?

• I am half way through writing the 'Light Touch Reflextherapy' book but looking for a publisher - so may self publish. It should take me another 3/4 months to complete it.
• The A1 size poster to accompany the book (and for workshops) is now with the printers and they will be available at the end of August. I shall do a mail shot and advertising then.
• I have 3 practical workshops in the autumn in Solihull. Response is slow so they may not happen - money is tight in the UK. Next year I am going to Tuscany in April and hope to go the the west coast of the USA in May.
• My wife and I have decided not to take on any more new patients as from mid August - then cut down the clinical workload to 2 days a week. This is mostly due to my deteriorating neck problem.
• I saw a consultant neurosurgeon in Edinburgh last month and I need to have more spinal surgery - this time a spinal decompression and fusion. If I go privately I could have it done next month but if I can hold out I will reach the top of the NHS waiting list in January 2012.
• We are proud parents once more!!! We took on 2 more ducklings 2 days ago. They are too young to go in with the rest of the ducks so they are in their special 'ark' for a few weeks.
• I have travelled to Derbyshire a couple of times lately to see my 89 year old mum who had a stroke in February - she is now in a nursing home. She still cannot swallow or talk too well but at least she's alive! I shall be there again this weekend following a couple of days in London. One of the London highlights is going to the O2 arena to see Placido Domingo and Angela Gheorghiu in concert.
• I'll be back in September but please contact me by email
