Down Memory Lane…

Happy Sunday! For me, it’s a rare Sunday with no football or cricket. The boys and I picked Adele up from Harrogate and then took the boys on a bit of a stroll down Memory Lane. We took the lads to York for the day and then bumped into the total legend and gentleman David…

The gift that keeps on giving…

It’s Saturday morning and I’m heading to work nice and early so I can have an afternoon with the boys. Cancer affects people you love – my wife Adele is not in a great place at the moment. It’s hard to deal with. Someone you love has been given a death sentance – how do…

Killing Eve…

So the hospital checkup yesterday went well – all being well I will be able to restart dual immunotherapy on July 1. It had been paused as my liver was inflamed but the steroids have helped massively and now I’m reducing doses every day in preparation for the next step. I’m making the most of…

Just priceless…

I was at the hospital today – that was all good but this is better. The smiles on both my boys faces is just priceless. What joy and happiness a sport can bring. These two mean the world 🌍 to me and seeing them so happy makes me so happy too – I absolutely love them to…

All that glitters…

Today marked my debut on BBC Radio Leeds – with the lovely Liz Green. I’ve known Liz for a while, she used to visit my restaurant. I was on for an hour – I’d prepared as much as possible for those difficult questions and the time just flew. I was absolutely blown away by the…

How long is a piece of string?

Last night, I had three hours sleep. I woke up at six am feeling amazing. The thing with these steroids is that they lull you into a false sense of feeling ok. I’m preparing – tomorrow I get to meet the lovely Liz Green, on BBC Radio Leeds, where I will be appearing between 2pm…

Good friends make a difference

I feel very lucky that Adele and the boys are surrounded by such a strong network of people. We have been blessed with some beautiful friends and I will always know that they will take care of my family. Cancer is not just about me but has a huge impact on my family. I do…

Father’s Day!

It’s been a good week. I have done a full week’s work at Cannon Hall Farm which has been a real achievement considering how bad I had been feeling. And this weekend has been full of joy – with the boys achieving great things with their cricket and football. Charlie (my youngest) makes me laugh!…

The Daily Mail!

So today has been an exciting day – I gave an interview the other day and there’s been a story published in the Daily Mail. You can click the link to read it here. It’s the first time I have publicly talked about my wish list but there are certain memories I’d like to make…

On Pause.

My melanoma is in my leg but I honestly do feel like I could run a marathon right now – back to the hospital today to find out if I could continue my immunotherapy. It had to be paused as my liver became inflamed. The good news is that its showing signs of improving but…
