For those who've not yet heard the news, our walk in the woods at Upton House and Gardens (near Banbury) on Tuesday ended in rather dramatic style, with Mark being air lifted from there to hospital in Coventry after falling awkwardly and breaking his ankle. Despite lying on a muddy slope for an hour and a half he was lucid enough (thanks to the morphine) to suggest that Debbie took a photo of the air ambulance. Debbie felt this was a step too far, so this photo from their website will have to do! It's been a challenging week for us all, but we are glad that Mark was able to have an operation on Wedesday evening and is back home now. It will be a long old road to recovery, but atleast we're on it.

Well, we're pleased he's back home and slowly improving, but we definitely think a photo of him being airlifted would have been good!
Holy smokes - what a great story!
So if the pain subsides, for how long will you be enjoying this holiday?
Isn't beer a recommended therapy for busted ankles? I'm a little fuzzy on the details...
Josh.
Gosh - it's an impressive looking beast, isn't it?
I think your previous post title of "Day Tripping" would be more apt for this one.
