Can't wait to see you in those fetching sequenced pink shorts, St Tropez tan and a glass of Prosecco swaying in your hand. Warm kisses from Eaves....xxxx

Hi there

I have been reading your blog daily as I am sure many people have. I am not a close friend of Russ's but know him through Speccy's and from skiing. I was so shocked to hear of his accident. It seems inconceivable that someone known for being so full of life and vitality should be in that situation. My thoughts are with you and all his close family and friends who are having to deal with this terrible situation. Please do let Russ know I was asking for him once he is in a position to know what is happening around him.

My very best wishes to you all

Hey
 Russ! I've been following your incredible progress on Melissa's blog. 
Im am certain  all your messages of support allude to your undoubted 
superhuman physical and mental strength, so i wont blow smoke up your 
arse. You are however a total one off, and as the machines confirm, you 
are officially the first ever Welshman to have full cognitive brain 
function !

You and Danni are never out of my thoughts (sounds a bit gay if I don't include Danni in that bit). 


I know it's going to be your greatest challenge and a long and testing 
journey back (that's Toulon Ryanair for you, particularly if you travel 
with excess baggage..... or as you say-"Danni") but with your physical 
and mental fortitude and your lovely Danni and family by your side you 
will once again excel . 


Stay strong , 


Mac

Hi Russ




I am thinking of you all the time.  It’s just another marathon in your 
life which you are going to win as you have so much strength.  Too much 
for me to keep up with on the skiing holidays but I always had just 
enough  strength to keep up with you in the bar!




All I can think of is laughing with you every time we meet and my lasting 
vision of you in fancy dress as Rose West!  Spinning me above your head 
at my 40th is also an hilarious memory – I actually wasn’t scared at all!




We are all routing for you here and I can’t wait to see you very soon.

“Russ, great to witness, albeit from afar, that you are making such 
progress.  With hindsight and knowing the man I guess it was never in 
doubt that you would fight your way back. From the latest photos on the 
blog you still look fitter
 and slimmer than your big brother.  And that’s even after lying in bed 
for weeks eating the very best in French cuisine, albeit in liquid 
form.  Keep up the good work and very best wishes from here to you, 
Dani, your girls and, frankly, everyone who has been
 helping to nurse you back to good health. Nick.”
