Adventure De francais'!....

Decided to pop my travelling cherry!...


I have not been abroad since my transplant (although I wanted to,

a couple of health hiccups prevented this.) I decided it was time to

break my duck,and set off on a solo adventure through France!


I fancied watching the race in Angouleme in southern France,

so flew to Limoge, to see my old friends Tom and Cynthia, and

then make my way down for the weekend race!


Things are off to a good start!... I have arrived at Toms, and after a couple

of hours sleep, I offered to help in the garden!


Toms GIANT hedge needed cutting, so we devised a safe and effective way

to reach and cut the hedge! We balanced and scaffold in a trailer and towed it!

It may LOOK risky, but strangley, as we both wore berets, had a glass of wine

with lunch, and had a Fiat axle in the tractor we satisfied ALL the French health

and safety criteria!!   :-)

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....

 

Matt.
