many apologies but I am going to cancel the ride on Thursday.
We've only just got back from our Eastbourne camping weekend a day late after our little one nearly drowned in a swimming pool incident. He's ok now, has been discharged from hospital, but he was grey faced, blue lipped, unconscious and not breathing when I pulled him out of the water.
Luckily we were in the Eastbourne District General Hospital's social club at the time, so the ambulance arrived within minutes and had about 100 yards to take him to the main entrance.
After 24 hours he's been released as aok, and he's back to his normal sunny self, but as you can imagine we're all absolutely frazzled, stressed out and exhausted.
I nearly didn't post this picture, but if anything good is to come of our miserable weekend it may be that this reminds everyone with small kids how important it is to watch them constantly around water. There were 10 or so people in the pool, and no-one even noticed him getting in to trouble until we started shouting...
OMG Phil, only just read your post. So glad you got there in time and your son is ok. Hope you and the rest of your family are recovering from the traumatic experience as well. All the best and hope to see you soon. Guy
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
