Colin is still holding in there and had another good day which is very pleasing .

He will at some time be moved to a Hospice but I understand will be giving notice in good time. Billie is just her normal self taken each day as it comes.

Not a good day for Colin rather tired and breathing not so good but he is still fighting.

Myself and tree others are going up to see him tomorrow so I will not be updating you until Tuesday evening.

Billie will be speaking to the Doctor sometime tomorrow about Colin moving to a Hospice.

I will let you know when that happens.

This will be in two parts today.

Myself,  Don Donaldson, Ian Hinde, Ray Andrews travelled up to Middleborough where we met Jack Boden who had came across from Huddersfield.

Colin was expecting us has Billie had forewarned him.

We had a good chat over some old time with Colin smiling a lot of the times. At one time we thought that we might be asked to leave as the laughter was very loud but the Nurses gave their blessing and stated it was nice to hear.

Colin was at a disadvantage as we recall the little things we did under his leadership (Kitchen Raids and such like). The Eyes said it all( NOT ME BILLIE).

We left him in good spirits but such ashamed to see a good friend so very sick.

3rd Tuesday

I have just had a call from Billie, Tomorrow ( Wednesday) the Macmillan Nurse is going to fit the house out and Colin will be going home.

He had as comfortable day as one can expect and we hope it keeps that way.

Colin is at home now. The Macmillan nurses are calling in as well as his GP.

The Macmillan Nurses have moved  a special bed for Colin into the lounge down stairs so he can see out of the window.

Colin is a very sick man who did not have a good day today but fights on.  

I wish I could send better news but sadly I cannot.

He is not aware of how serious his condition is. I visited him in hospital this afternoon and he was in good spirits as we talked about the old battalion. Billie was there with her sister who is staying with her for a few days. I'll let you know of any further developments.
