Not a closure as such but I am having difficulties at present. As some of you may be aware my wife, Andrea, has been unwell over the last month or so and in hospital recently.

She is now out and recuperating at her parent's place in Spain for a week or so,

This means that between the day job, housework, dog walking and everything else, keeping on top of everything has been a bit of a struggle. I am still taking orders as normal but getting some of the jobs ready for printing is taking a longer than I would like.

Hopefully, everything should be back to normal in a couple of weeks. If you have an order in the works, please be patient - I will get it sorted as soon as I am able.

I am not monitoring internet forums or FB very much at the moment, so please email me directly if you need to get in contact.

I hope your wife improves rapidly. Spain is an excellent place to recuperate. Having been in a similar situation recently I know it's very difficult to do the jobs of two people by yourself and I'm retired. But just think of the space you have in the bed

My wife's in the Costa Blanca area, near Calpe. Beautiful place...

I end up with even less bed space, as my two dogs have decided to keep me company and generally end up pushing me off the edge...

Mito · July 07, 2017, 10:47:03 AM

Our dog is not allowed on the bed. I've enough problems with my wife pushing me out of bed!
It certainly is a great part of the world. I live in Benissa.

Things have gone from bad to worse. No sooner had Andrea arrived back home than we have had to take her back to hospital with a bad flare-up of the previous problem. We are waiting on the consultant and a scan to find out more, so fingers crossed they can sort it this time.

I'm afraid that Electra and model railways in general will be taking a back seat for the net few days

I hope things soon improve for you and your wife. Good luck.

Sorry to hear of Andreas illness please wish her all the best and I hope they can sort her problem and get her back to good health as soon as possible.

My thoughts too

Adam1701D · July 17, 2017, 08:33:48 PM

Many thanks, everyone. Andrea's had a diagnosis of an intestinal infection which has swollen the stomach lining and is really painful. She's on antibiotics and fluids so should hopefully be on the mend soon.

The staff at Peterborough City Hospital have all been superb and I am in awe about just how good the NHS can be when the chips are down.

Mito · July 17, 2017, 08:40:31 PM

Glad that she's getting sorted out and is on the mend. Looks like another trip to Calpe is on the books.

Hi ,
Please add me to the list of well wishers and yes the NHS can pull rabbits out of hats despite a press happy to knock it.

Hope the dog fleet are ok as well and I think we all look forward to normal service resuming when all is calm at HQ !

Happy to say that Andrea is back at home and recovering. Hopefully, normal Electra service and playing trains will return in the next few days.
