Dorsetbred - back with us soon

[IanM]

Some of you might have noticed that Dorsetbred - or Quentin as we know him in the real world - hasn't been around for the last few days.

 

Unfortunately, Quentin had a very bad fall earlier this week, resulting in multiple fractures and a long list of other serious injuries.  The good news is that he's recovering well, and may even be released from hospital very soon if his recovery continues to progress so smoothly.  Sadly, it does mean that we won't be enjoying the dry Dorset wit on Tour 5 this year, or the sound of his wife, Maxine, knitting from the back seat as we cover the miles as we have for the past 4 years.  And not forgetting their son who was due to join them this year for the first time after burning the midnight oil following them on the stream in the past.

 

We'll miss the West Country twang, but wish you a continued and speedy recovery Quentin, and I'm sure you'll bounce back quickly (sorry, couldn't resist).

 

With best wishes from all of here at Netweather, the tour staff past and present and all the guests, we will bag some action for you.  And I'm sure everyone else will join in wishing you well and back on form again very soon.

I can't imagine how you must be feeling. I'd be gutted if I couldn't go, knowing how excited I am in the build-up.

Chin-up and here's to massive supercells and even bigger steaks next year.

I just found out about DB and was shocked to hear the news,I told my family what has happened so from them and myself a massive GET WELL SOON! And come back when you can! All the best Raidan + Family.

[AudMun]

Really sorry to read this Sir. Take care and get better soon!

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

That's brilliant! 

Is that the line of cars near Amarillo? 

[Tom Lynch]

That's brilliant! 

Is that the line of cars near Amarillo? 

Yes its the Cadillac Ranch west of Amarillo

[Dorsetbred]

Folks, including George the chicken, thank you all for your we'll wishes and kind thoughts. Nice place to watch the looking right out over the English Channel, for yesterday's rainfall and thunder. Today it's right and clear out there and trickle weather. Expect a few days in here yet before phase 2 recovery begins at home. DB

[Dorsetbred]

Unfortunately things were worst than first appeared. Initial hospital reviews were not 100% correct and major surgery followed. To cut things short I missed all the goings-on for the last tour, so in due course I will have some reading to do on the forum.

I am now back home in phase 3 of my recovery, hoping to return to the USA next year.

Until then "Chase On"
