That was so lovely you & your brother getting close! I'm so glad he pulled through and everything seems to be getting back to normal. You're such a lovely person just dropping everything and driving all that way to support all your family. I hope mum is much happier now and his family are feeling better about things. You've got us all wondering now about your 'news' ?!! You keep us all on our toes! Have a good journey back and have a rest if you can, commitments may dictate otherwise! Anyway, again, thank you for the ticket(s) and if you haven't seen my reply on YT, all I was saying was that I just left it as a msg on Twitter. I didn't expect a reply, just wanted you to know how grateful I am and my lips are sealed if you know what I mean!! Love to you and Dougal, what a wonderful person you are!! xxx 😘🐶❤

I'm glad to hear your brother is recovering, that's really good news. Life is too short. We as a family have been in a similar situation, although it was me in the hospital bed and Mandy in your position. I have to say, I did fully recover but I think Mandy bares more of the emotional scars than I do. It's a terrifying position to be in at the time and we can really empathise.

Here's to your brothers continued recovery and to better times ahead. Is that Spring I see...?

I seem to have a grain of sand in my eyes… 🤢

Thank you for sharing a very personal and emotional family story with us Andrew!

So pleased to hear he is recovering in positive frame of mind and wish him a full recovery.

Intrigued to hear what’s next for you and the Wonder Dog… 🤔

Take care Sir,

Rog… x

Thankyou for sharing the experience you have had

And so glad yourself and your brother finally expressed your feelings

Your mum would have been so grateful for your support

We travel 200 miles twice a week to make sure family member is cared for

Even through pandemic We still had to travel

Though we did notify police from both areas

Support means such a lot and I think people sometimes forget

Keep up good work loved the videos on nec

And take care

So glad to hear that your brother’s recovery is continuing well. I often find myself quoting your ‘life is what happens when you’ve made other plans’ saying! Wishing you a fabulous journey north and time to enjoy the beauty and peace of North Uist. Good luck for your new adventures. 😊
