This makes chronological photos and event recording quite challenging when the blog is months behind</p><p style="text-align: center;">The ability to post a couple of shots and perhaps a little prose sometimes whilst still at the venue over a cuppa just does it for me so sorry to those of you who prefer this type of rambling</p><p style="text-align: center;">So now I'm picturing those of you not on Instagram thinking what the heck do you have to do to get on?</p><p style="text-align: center;">Easy peasy really and you don't need to possess teenager tekky skills either. A simple download of the App and a choosing of your username. You don't even have to post anything to go off cruising the World's posts (inc mine)</p><p style="text-align: center;">'Your account can remain entirely private and once on you'll see mine is too so just click the `follow` tag then the 'request' option and I'll respond and give you access</p><p style="text-align: center;">There's a link back to this blog under my 'Bio' top left too to cross reference at any time so whatcha waiting for?</p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for reading my rambling over the last nine and a half years and I hope you've found at least some pleasure and interest in what you've exposed yourselves to, good and bad</p><p style="text-align: center;">2 van travelling is on the cards come this summer if the van arrives on time so a very different way forward finally for us both</p><p style="text-align: center;">There will be much to do when our new baby arrives π</p><p style="text-align: center;">Some highlights from recent posts over on Insta are below...</p><p style="text-align: center;">See you on the other sideπ</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihqDl8kNqxcEmvRvihIP016evXBXAKz_7LiPE2PSC4uRkSIZ4txy1Y4D50QomOsMT0P7d43mU4yIQ5vPbHrgzrBay_Tq1vqLTsqlrYNVUy4VGpsvqLdne9mGWUacPaQCmnRdE0KDkf8eAJxku9me6B5CIgFxYjYuaz9AsZ3ZJzHoeBwGYU6ZP8e08p-g=s4000" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;">So here's the thing.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After much soul searching and facing up to the reality that Nina just isn't going to be comfortable riding the bike here or in Europe I ride to the dealership one saturday morning to discuss them selling the bike for me in their showroom</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Totally top of the range bike with low mileage (thanks Covid) and kitted out with the very best it sells that first weekend and we are left feeling gutted...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Nina's ability to walk any real distance has been cruely taken from her and we have stumbled across an idea to return to touring both the UK and Europe effectively in the near future</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Keeping us going throughout those long winter months with the bike tucked up in the garage was viewing many bike touring vids on Youtube </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One particular guy (Richy Vida) and his mates put out several touring vids of Norway and we noticed in most of his stills of bikes lined up there were campervans (Ducato Van conversions) parked up in the background at various viewpoints and stopovers...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">An epic light bulb moment for us both!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A life changing injury and Brexit restrictions have really stuffed us so some creative thinking was required</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Why not buy a van conversion, do three month tours of Europe in that and return for effectively six months in the RV set up in different UK locations?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Use the van as daily transport here in the UK and indeed discover the far flung areas of our own Isles as well as six months overseas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Well why not?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Viewing suitable campervans in the UK at the moment is almost a non event as most available have been sold including the demonstrators leaving dealers with nothing to take to shows or have available on forecourts for prospective purchasers to view</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With a mere 24hrs to spare we managed recently to secure the last available build spot for a Dreamer van conversion for 2022 so now have a very long wait until next spring/summer to take delivery</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We feel its an excellent way forward for us to rekindle our love of travel and visit the places we could not get to even with our first motorhome</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A further hospital visit confirms Nina is progressing well. Bone growth and density is improving every month and although it will take some time to achieve 'full development' we are on the right path now for sure. Her leg flexion is still as it was and this has as yet not been discussed, the focus being on bone growth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are lucky on several fronts....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her Op was done before the Covid 19 pandemic happened</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The morning after arrival and after just a few hundred metres walking in the glorious sunshine on the promenade we were approached by a biker cop on a BMW (what taste!) and told we had to go back to the apartment and stay there for 14 days.....what!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Murcia had decided overnight as an autonimous region to lockdown immediately and two days before an impending national ruling. Their thinking was that they wanted to prevent the natives of Madrid flocking to the coast to their holiday homes to escape their own local lockdown</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The initial shock took some dealing with tbh. Same lockdown as we have here in the UK now but more restrictive in that there's no exercise allowance and only one person allowed out to the shops</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For many days airlines still flew, ferries from Spain were still departing and the UK was blissfully unaware of what was coming to home shores</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We began to get nervous as the news bulletins about Spain and France were not good viewing and we eyed the Ryanair flights back from Alicante for our due departure daily</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not by surprise and half way through our stay the return flight was cancelled and we had the chance to book another for the following day, the 25th March. Within 24 hrs that got cancelled too and then anxiety levels rose in the foursome of Brits confined to barracks </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nina got her valuable now partial weight bearing exercise in around the enclosed pool area using a walker we'd hired from a local mobility shop so at least the stay was of benefit to her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each day was Groundhog day....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sat watching our normal world collapse, news of deaths European wide increasing and watching Spain struggle with the numbers of people infected. Images of overcrowded hospitals with patients left crowded in corridors on beds kinda pushed us in to a corner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
News that Nina's parents' return ferry from Santander due to sail in 3 weeks had been cancelled and with no real hope of another anytime soon together with 5 days of trying to contact Ryanair led us to make an exit plan of our own</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having driven solo to the nearest Ryanair desk as their email suggested to find the airport practically deserted and a shut Ryanair kiosk I drove home not knowing if we would be returning at all to the UK in the next few weeks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every time Nina wanted the loo en route home the car's boot had to be unpacked to get to the wheelchair</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a full day's driving we reached Pau for our first stay in French lockdown after being stopped in the dark by some enthusiastic Gendarmes in the Pyrenees</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Much schoolboy French and examination of electronic travel permits ensued but we got away with a heavily overloaded car and several tired teddies within it were grateful...</div>

The second night was at Abbeville in a very pleasant first floor apartment which saw Nina do her stairs bum shuffling routine to get upstairs to good effect</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I nailed a stupid amount of rum to destress and took a well earned deluge shower then crashed in to bed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning was a short hop to Le Shuttle down the now familiar deserted motorway bringing our total Peage spend to around β¬100.00, money well spent considering the circumstances</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Arriving at Stansted there were no issues springing the car from an almost deserted huge car park two days later than planned. We loaded up our little C3 and trundled home</div>

Back in the UK and safely locked down yet again</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The HUGE difference is that our sojourn could have ended so very differently. I dread to think of the real possibility there was of one or both of Nina's folks being hospitalised in Spain in the event we didn't move quickly once the doors began to close</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all the travelling we've done in Europe these past few years it was very odd to feel the gutteral need to want to come 'Home' as normally we feel so at home just about anywhere overseas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nina is currently walking slowly, partially weight bearing and using her walker outside at the farm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have a long way to go with her rehab but after the hospital visit a few weeks ago and today's Facetime session with the physiotherapist we feel in a different world now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As ever a big thanks to all our Chums who continue to support us and help Nina along with lots of encouragement, its much appreciated....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On that theme there are thousands of folks out there right now, this minute doing so much good in the world in its hour of need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Covid-19 pandemic will be a long haul and 'normal life' will be a very long way off right now for most people but I'm amazed so far at how folks are pulling together to get the job done</div>

The run up to Christmas was really nice and something we'd not experienced on home soil for a few years. We have the benefit of the car, friends and family on hand, and of course time to kill before that all important Op</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First up were Gina & Baz with whom we had a very enjoyable booze fuelled afternoon and turned out evening at a local pub, the Horse & Jockey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The highlight was when the obligatory quiz kicked in and a now very obviously 'excitable foursome', in total contrast to the incoming teetotal old uns', took exception with one of the provided answers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being half Kraut I knew for sure the former East Germany was called the DDR but alas the very stern faced quizmaster insisted on only what she had answer wise in front of her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(she showed me her best 'Google is Wrong' face)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Imagine the absolute pleasure and voiced jubilation (thanks Gina) when we made off with the top raffle cash prize a few minutes later......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Amusingly and quite bizarrely after this windfall we were reluctantly asked if we wanted to take part in more card games involving low prizes then informed we could not take part in what can only be described as 'Il Gordo' cash value wise</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reason being the 'Regulars' would object if we made off with that too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tell you what Missus, pass us our coats we're off </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeping a very happy Gina from not being torn apart by the local wolves was quite challenging and yet highly amusing</div>

Christmas Eve saw a more sombre moment when we finally laid Mum's ashes to rest under one of our beautiful local trees</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A stunning location (in our opinion) and a really nice place to touch base with her in future years</div>

The symbolic shot representing Nina's week in the QMC Nottingham</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Op day arrives and we arrive in good time at 0645 hrs after getting up at stupid O'clock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The previous week was very stressful as Nina developed a bad cold a week before the Op and only really picked up a bit the day before</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On arrival the Anaesthetist (or Gasman as I childishly called him) gave her the all clear and down she went......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 hours later and a very surprisingly awake Nina emerged on the ward where I awaited her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She spent a week on the ward, latterly in her own room and after recovering enough to go home we called via the British Red Cross to pick up several home contraptions to make life easier for her </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During my daily visits I parked up at <a href="https://whitehartlenton.co.uk/">The White Hart at Lenton</a> close to the QMC, avoided the nightmare of finding a space at the hospital, and availed myself of their daily carvery most days</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The mutual arrangement with the Landlord for parking there worked really well and was a no brainer food wise for me</div>

Nina is very positive now and managing her difficulties a lot better buoyed up by the prospect of being able to walk again relatively soon</div>

On the Thursday Nina had a 'free period' and we were directed to nearby Pooley Bridge where we were advised to visit the local shop that sells hundreds of different gins....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You won't be surprised to know that we left with an expensive Rum....</div>

We both had a very relaxing and rewarding stay up here in Penrith at Jubilee House</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The whole staff were very friendly and attended to our every needs. It took a while for me to back off and just let them fuss after Nina and it felt like we were amongst family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Genuinely supportive carers making our stay very comfortable</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On leaving we were given some more dates to attend next year post surgery which will be great once Nina is weight bearing again</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We left after lunch on the Friday feeling revived, rested and looking forward to returning to this first class facility</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jubilee House is one of three rehab centres run in the UK by The Firefighters Charity which is a non profit making charity and relies solely on donations and the proceeds of fund raising events</div>

All went well after a very early start for us and arriving far too early. We were actually seen an hour early, a good omen for sure</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nina had further X rays and the Prof told us the intended course of action come surgery day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically the metal plate and most of the screws are to be removed and a new plate of similar length fitted without the need for a bone graft. The intention being to treat the ends of her non healed femur and bring them together before plating</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It appears that her leg is twisted out of line and he will correct this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He also reassured us that he has several surgical back up plans should issues be raised during surgery and that his chosen method at present has a 95 per cent success rate in patients having a 'non union' femur fracture</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The good news is her shattered knee has healed and when questioned he said he counted 10 pieces of bone that had smashed apart at the time of the accident</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He also hopes to improve her leg flexion currently stuck painfully at 60 degs so that she can sit comfortably at 90 degs at a table. There's also a follow up operation involving muscle release from the bone to further improve leg flexion but thats for the future and he needs to concentrate on getting the bone fixed first</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Downside is the metalwork will again need to be removed in the future and she'll have one leg shorter than the other</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Looks like only circular walks then in future...π)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its been a year now since the accident and barely a day goes by without Nina breaking down and crying bless her. Its all far too much to bear for her I'm afraid and I'm doing my utmost to prop her up (literally) and keep her spirits up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are as ever eternally grateful to those of you that have helped in so many ways to lighten the load for us so wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year...</div>

Some good news....finally</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nina's dates for pre op consultation and actual operation day come through, namely 16 Dec and 14 Jan and we are mightily relieved</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This ties in nicely with a trip to Langdale followed immediately by a week of rehab up in Penrith</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friends Simon & Mandy had invited us to stay with them up in the beautiful lodge resort of Langdale many months ago and we never knew if it was on the cards or not likewise with our application for a stay at the Firefighters Charity Rehab facility in Penrith. Both were subject to cancellation should the dates not match up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect timing was such that we could spend a few nights with our friends then drive through the stunning landscape directly to Penrith on the sunday<br />
<br />

Pete & Nina on Tourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06104155986026724528noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703335571404422517.post-985752770352155902019-09-20T09:14:00.003+01:002019-09-20T09:20:25.560+01:00An update on Nina<div style="text-align: center;">
After being referred by her GP Nina finally gets to see an Orthopaedic Consultant at King's Mill Hospital</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Xrays are done and blood tests performed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The team in the fracture clinic are superb and the Consultant spends a fair bit of time with us getting to know the medical history and evaluating the next course of action</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bad news is that there appears to be no discernable bone growth in Nina's femur from when she last had Xrays a few months back in Spain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is advised to go back to non weight bearing movement on her crutches and we are told her knee is intact and doesn't need replacing despite limited flexion of the joint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inter-Consultant letters are sidelined and after a few calls to his colleagues Nina is fast tracked to go see a Professor Moran at Queens Medical Centre</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This guy is a specialist in treating 'Non Unions' as in Nina's case and complicated non healed fractures. After such bad news at least we know we will be in the right hands now...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of weeks pass and we visit QMC</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More blood tests and a preliminary examination by the 'Prof', as the staff call him, reveal a way forward for Nina</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He says she now needs surgery as soon as he can book her in to perform a bone graft and do work relating to the supporting metalwork</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He also points out that a follow up operation involving stripping muscle back from her thigh bone would help with knee articulation but its a complex op and a painful rehab afterwards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This can't be done first as its the muscles that provide the blood flow to the bone for healing. He promises he can do good work and perhaps incorporate both techniques to some extent in one operation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A CT scan and lengthy consultation is now expected and at this stage he will suggest the best course of action based on his tests, scans and Nina's wishes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were OK right up to the point he pointed out her leg had been "smashed to pieces" and "you've had a life changing injury"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nina broke down bless her as the reality of her injury and future capabilities was finally spelled out by a Specialist in his field</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He also said that her supporting metalwork could fail at any stage but in any case would not last two years being the sole means of support for her leg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bizarrely he advises now to go back to weight bearing movement on her crutches with pro active physio. We guess this is to get her legs in best shape ready for the next lay up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe we threw away the bedpan and dumped the wheelchair!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Dethick, our English base beckons and we arrive to a newly mown area of grass with our customary stunning view over Riber & Lea Bridge</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We settle in and visit family by means of a newly acquired addition to the 'fleet'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nina's folks just happen to be buying a new car at the moment and we are offered their outgoing wheels instead of the old 'part chop' arrangement with their dealer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We come away smiling having bought a cracking little C3 diesel for stupid money that will get us about nicely in the next few months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Me and the Nob had some quality Tech time fitting three new AGM batteries to the Tour Bus</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they die they sure die quickly and my suspect cheap leisure batteries that were fitted prior to viewing a couple of years ago just gave up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've big hopes for the new ones as they are better suited to being 'Inverted' regularly</div>

Cameron came to stay one very wet weekend that saw us playing endless hangman games and evenings playing Spotify roulette </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bless him, he spent a long time trying to educate us as to what was 'proper music'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This ranged from Ariana Grande (the only artist we recognised) to strange Rap Crap (my words)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made him listen to Killer by Adamski at full volume as punishment and forced education</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(one day he may understand but for now he just kinda smiled and I swear he had a look on him that simply said Sad T**t)</div>

Why not contact The Firefighter's Charity and see if we can visit one of their Rehab centres for Physio and some quality R & R?</div>

Later in the day and after driving in the high 30's we discover both wheel hub covers are missing to the tune of approx Β£200.00 in replacement costs. We put it down to the extreme heat expanding the hub assembly and losing both caps in transit but I'm not sure as there's also the possibility that they now adorn some Spanish kid's bedroom wall</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure they are on in this early morning photo though</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To my amazement and very shortly after her op back in December last year Nina gave me the nod to start researching a replacement for Max as he'd been written off by the insurance company</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So a deposit was laid down in early April and collection from Reiten Motorrad was made soon after our arrival back in Blighty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went with a new BMW R1250 GS TE Exclusive...Ta Da!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We both have very expensive full suits with matching laminate suits to boot all to Level 2 protection standards. The bike accessories were all obtained from Touratech in Alicante at a far cheaper cost than the UK equivalent</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This procurement took many visits in Spain to the suppliers so we were kept busy over there which made time pass too thankfully</div>

Yes its been a while hasn't it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Apologies for not keeping up with the blog but we've been kinda busy of late.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking back over the past two months it really is a blur tbh with us spending most of our time on physio visits (three times a week at the end), walking around the locality as much as possible to build up Nina's leg strength and prepping for the housesit and the arrival of Chums Pat & Jane</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discover that its become a bit of a slog really in the mid thirties heat out here in Spain. All great fun of course when you are passing through or are active and out and about discovering new places. The reality of the almost daily trip in a non air conditioned car to either the dentists or physio takes it toll and we are left tired and very very hot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thought that our friends are coming to see us and the weekly improvements with Nina makes the time pass rather quickly and before we know it they are here!</div>

At time of posting Nina is progressing well and in the two weeks we've been visiting the clinic Raul has seen her very hard scar tissue soften up considerably after his work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Twice daily I give her knee and scars a good massage with different oils which helps and we are actually seeing progress we think</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her leg is more supple and looks more healthy too</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A visit to the surgeon again on 23 May is eagerly anticipated as we want her to advise putting more weight on her leg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This will give Raul more room to work with and hopefully a 'step' nearer walking</div>

The time has come to return the rental car back to Bolnuevo....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will hopefully have access to a car up at Rudy & Dorines' so getting about and hospital visits are sorted thankfully</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a three hour steady walk with a couple of breaks along the coast back from Bolnuevo to Puntas so having refreshed myself with an americano at a local cafe I set out on a glorious day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

The past two months have flown by during which Nina's Family have come and gone, friends visited us on site and the days have lengthened...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lynda and Terry, Nina's parents are en route home via the Santander ferry as I post and for their help and unfailing support we thank them immensely</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are on our lonesome at this moment with just a few souls on site and we are just chilling...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the car goes back to the rental agency on wednesday and we head North to Rudy & Dorines' for the next three months it will be more like the old welcomed routine for us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More Xrays on tues and hopefully the nod for Nina to begin putting weight on her leg now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A phsiotherapy consultation at another hospital in Cartagena in a couple of weeks will reveal whats in store for her repaired leg by way of a probable intensive exercise programme</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are some photos taken during the past couple of months on the days spent with friends and family in the local area</div>
