Re: It's been a while (back 5 and a half years)

It was horrible. Watching a strong, vital man waste away like that. And he died right smack in the middle of our son taking his GCSEs. I honestly don't know how we got through it.

Re: It's been a while (back 5 and a half years)

Thanks. And, yes, we were extremely grateful for the NHS. The support we received was second to none. And, luckily, we have a very good local hospice and they also offered a lot of support.

Re: It's been a while (back 5 and a half years)

Thanks. It's strange but nice to be back. Good to see so many familiar faces. It's rare for a forum to have members that stick around for a long time. :)

It's been a while (back 5 and a half years)

I thought I'd check in. It's been a while since I was here.

It's been a tough few years. I think my last post mentioned that my husband was diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer in September 2013....

Just phone your local planning department. A planner will be able to tell you what the requirements are from the zoning code. It depends on what 'zone' you live in as to what the set back...
