We go through the triage process - we now have a call back in 3 weeks from the dr. The drs have said they cannot pull it out so why not just refer to the ENT to take it out? No doubt they will want an appointment to see it as well. They talk about wastage in the NHS… 2

Chris - I’m so sorry I missed this at the time, it is simply beautiful. It’s been nearly 2 months since Her Majesty was reunited with her beloved husband & SO much has happened in those two months. But I chanced across your tweet & it made me stop today, & reflect. Thank you x

It's never going to be a replacement for bps money. All this free consultancy for farmers, to look at business options, should tell us all we need to know.
