Well Ian, what a great article. We’ve had lots of chats when I visited and Skyped about your “leaky spine” but to see the struggle and pain you went through in print is mind blowing ( no pun intended ) Upsetting as it was to read in parts, I’m so proud and relieved your well and I’m sure your positive attitude will give anyone having any struggles with their health or anything else will give them hope. I know I’ll get some stick from David, Steven & Chris, but you deserve the badge MLS ( not so little) ?? Thanks Dani for your care and love. ” New Beginings “

Knew you years ago briefly at amaze. Fantastic piece and great you are fixed and have created something so positive out of an almost insurmountable challenge.
Failing is just learning, it’s what makes us better. Couldn’t agree more.
All the best!
