More than five years on...

This is a pictorial update largely after a long time of inactivity driven really by the fact that I've sent the link to a few more people. I got my five year all clear back in May, followed shortly thereafter by a scary swelling which turned out to be fine after an MRI.
In the last half decade I've lost my mum and my father-in-law to cancer (both mercifully peaceful and unafraid) and gained another two grandchildren; two in and two out seems right however painful the losses. I was invited to my amazement and great pride to become a Macmillan online "Community Champion" so still spend a fair amount of time talking about cancer and trying to help people get from where I was to where I am (or better). I still live with several long term effects of the treatment all those years back but I'm not going to talk about them now, this is just my attempt to celebrate some of the things that have happened in recent years that might well not have done. I promise to post again in less than five years this time; and would you believe that what I started as just a reminder for me of how things were is now approaching 6,000 views? I know that's not breaking records in the grand scheme of things but if it's helped one or two people then that makes me very happy.
Anyway the pictures (as you can see I did get the motorbike, only a small one mind but great fun!).
