Many of you who have been following our travels will already know this but a few won't, so I'm using this as a way of updating those people on recent events.

I have not been posting any updates because early last week my Dad's car was hit hard by another car which had jumped a red light. He initially seemed ok but deteriorated over the following days due to a brain bleed from an injury sustained in the collision and the doctor treating him advised us to return home immediately. As I write this he is receiving end-of-life care in hospital.

The driver and passenger ran from the scene but due to eye witnesses and doorbell camera footage the police have tracked down, arrested and charged 2 men, one 20 year old and one 19 year old. The car was stolen, with false plates, the driver unlicensed and obviously uninsured. 

What started as a dream holiday of a lifetime has become the worst nightmare. We arrived back in the UK on Monday 20th to be with him and my sister for his last days.
