So, if this post has appeared, I’m now raising a glass at the pearly bar with my brother.
First-up; please don’t put any sad or crying faces below this post. I’m in no pain now, the uncertainty around my future has gone, and I’m finally catching up on lost years with my bro 😀 I’m happy, so please don’t be sad for me, just re-channel that emotion into doing something amazing – that’s what I did after we lost Simon, and I lived the best life I could ever have dreamt of!
Secondly; please send regular random messages to my parents – look after them for me, and make sure they live THE BEST life they can!
And finally; if you’re all in lockdown and can’t use this as an excuse for a damn good send-off (read as: piss-up), be patient – the time will come. I’ve left instructions on what I want to happen, so as soon as things improve, you can expect a spot of musical theatre, boating action, plenty of orange and of course, a chequered flag!
Until then, I’ll be settling my brother’s pearly bar tab and won’t afford to buy anyone else a drink just yet! So stay home, stay safe, stay well, and to quote from Gladiator: “I’ll see you again, but not yet…” 😀

Make sure you get the party started Bok – look out for my Dad who went a month before you (also the reason why the promised road trip pics were truncated). He’ll be up for a road trip somewhere, or a glass of bubbles or 2! It was a pleasure and a privilege to call you a colleague and most importantly a friend. Love to your Mama and Dad too. xx
