Nobody coming in today - a rare opportunity of taking some time out. Where did we choose to spend it? At the Harrogate Exhibition Centre where there was a coloproctology conference, not everyone's first choice!! Not as strange as it may seem though - we had gone to meet Siobhán who we had known for 6 years but never met. Siobhán (the one on the right without a pointy head) has worked for Lynn’s Bowel Cancer Campaign since 2003 a charity dear to us. We have had a great deal of involvement with the Lynn’s charity since I (Stephen) had bowel cancer in 1997.
We already had a face to the name, having seen each other’s photos over the years, but we have met at long last. We had already met Caroline, the other person in the photo without a pointy head, when we organised an entry into the Great Manchester Run several years ago - she ran, we didn't!
