Yesterday we did the mighty hike…26 miles along the Thames path

Really beautiful scenery and very well organised with some moving stories of why people were walking

I really appreciate all your support and good wishes

If you still want to sponsor us you can

You may have seen in the news yesterday that 10,000 steps (the idea of which was started by an enterprising Japanese advertising exec to sell pedometers) although great is not necessary to change your health...7000 steps a day will do so (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx238lgy3pwo)

Well tomorrow I am going a tad over this when I walk 26 miles for MacMillan along the Thames path. Any support is greatly appreciated

Wish me luck

30 years ago today I graduated, it has rushed by

Obviously you graduate thinking you know everything - very quickly realise you don't, and then keep learning with every patient you see.

So thank you for all you help and support with the clinic, thank you for everything you have taught me over the years

Thank you for the book and film recommendations, the restaurants and places to visit. The discussions about everything from meta physical poets, ghosts, mexican wrestlers to sport via religion and politics.

It has been and continues to be an absolute honour to have you trust me with your treatment and to meet you all

I continue to learn and hope I will continue to do so

Apologies for the suit and tie I was young and had terrible taste!

Its going to be a hot day today, we are here in our slightly darkened room with the fan going - lovely and cool

I hope you get to stay cool too

Remember the suncream and drink plenty of water, stay safe

British summers are amazing:)

In a months time I will be walking 26 miles along the Thames path for Macmillan, this is a fabulous cause and I would greatly appreciate any donation you feel you can give.

I am really hoping it is not in the 30's when I start!

Enjoy your weekend be it in sunshine or (in my case) shade

Just in case you are out and about

If you see a QR code stuck in any of our pay and display car parks, please report this to us. We do not use QR codes for parking payments. Our officers check the ticket machines daily, and we’ve recently removed fake QR codes from some of our car parks.

We are aware of scammers placing these codes on ticket machines in other local authority areas on the south coast.

All our ticket machines (except Taddiford gap car park) accept coins. You also have the option to pay by card (contactless in every car park), pay on the RingGo app or ring the number shown on the ticket machine to speak to one of their operators.
