Culloden!.....

WOW!

 

I was amazed by this expanse of terrain!

 

Apart from the History, you get a GPS, audio tour, which

senses where you are and shows films, and tells you details!

(they have even recreated period building on the site.)

 

Sadly when it's under 6 inches of snow, no matter how good the GPS

is, you can't see a thing, outside the Museum. I had a few moments

of silense to remember the fallen on both sides....

 

Thankfully, despite the snow and winds, and thanks to my new

and wonderous new heart I remained ALIVE to leave

the Culloden Battlefields!  


 

But it was quiet, and a remorseful place to reflect on mans greed for land and power.

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.
