just had a word with Neil, although he's still in a lot of pain after surgery, he is back doing his master craft. In fact he would welcome some work to keep his mind off the recovery pain.

lets just say he had what was equivalent to 3 different procedures on his heart, which invovled valves and all sorts. Serious bit of surgery. Hence he's hurting quite a bit in the post op recovery. But working on our kites he said keeps his mind off the pain.

Hey Neil, sad to hear about the difficulties you've been having

Get well soon buddy

But I still hate you for selling me that two line Naish in 99, as the addiction has only cost me about 100k since then through equipment and travel

Hope to see you back on board soon mate
