and an update from Ben’s visit
“Ben Creed We were invited to see Gus in Hope hospital a few weeks back. After the initial confusion as to who I was, he was smiling, joking and chatting with his usual dry sense on humour. He was sat in a wheel-chair next to his bed, and obviously has limited movement. With photos on the wall, and Tracey and Katherine sat on his bed, memories and stories were recounted: from the holidays in Spain last year, to rides and routes around Hayfield, and trying to remember his favourite ice cream!
When he was getting uncomfortable in the chair, and while we waited for him to be moved back to his bed, he managed to undo his seatbelt – with a familiar glint in his eye, he looked for a second as if he was free! Apparently we had caught him on a good day, and as he tired, and got more confused, we left so he could get some rest.”
