Farewell & RIP #2

Today we bade farewell to a dear friend of many in Whittlesey – Alison Bacon, who’s charity and committment to several groups in Whittlesey will be very much missed.

Alison only recently sponsored a wonderful 4 seat teak bench in memory of her late husband ‘Michael’ – it has been recently installed at The Platinum Wood along Yarwell Headlands.

Farewell & RIP #1

My apologies, I was away and unwell when Mr J Sneidder passed away.
He, like my father was a German POW who settle in Fenland/Whittlesey after WWII.
Johann was a friend of my late father, and as far as I am aware would have been the last survivor of that group of POW’s. They were based at Thorney Toll POW Camp.

NQS PPG Meeting Earlier This Week….

A good and shortish meeting with only 8 members in attendance (including myself).
What we learnt was that there is more Doctor appointments being created for face-to face meetings.
There are more face-to-face meetings with other clinicians.

Long standing Partner Dr. Dhanushan has departed from NQS.

Yes – I needed to see someone, so on Tuesday I did what everyone else has to do in getting an appointment to see a doctor, queued up at 07:30 (2nd in the Que) and yes I did get an appointment – still not ideal but there we go…..First time I’ve seen a ‘Doctor’ in about 8 years…..
