Hi Tomo,

Good to hear you have had your knee op done, make sure you use it and adhere to physio mate. Hope all is well and you are feeling the benefit of it soon.

Take care mate

Been there ,done that

Not tripe mate,any op on a leg / hip joint will be a major factor for insurance,if driving.

Ive had both` knees and a hip replaced,and was told by my surgeon that I couldnt drive for 12 weeks. I argued with insurance but got nowhere.......Dr says no......insurance says no also !.
If Dr says no and you drive and have a bump,ins company have the best nopayout excuse ever

Got a late night Friday and a busy morning taking daughter to catch train then collecting Trish before setting off, but hope to get there around lunchtime and stay overnight IF the puppy looks as if she'll be manageable. To keep it simple, we might prefer to eat out. Is the local pub offering evening meals? Also, will everyone be away at the steam fair by the time we turn up. No matter if so but we might u turn and nip into Grange for a bit if so.

See you there. :-)

Nice pub but it was very crowded when we were there with Brian and Christine over a year ago.
