Bernard rang on Thursday from his isolation room in King's College Hospital. He said he was feeling fine and he certainly sounded in good spirits. He had the operation to insert new bone-marrow about a week ago. Now he must wait for it to build his white blood cells back up while trying to avoid infection, as at present he has no immune defences—hence the isolation. Progress is measured by daily blood tests; and with luck he could be ready to leave hospital in three to four weeks. He thinks he'll need a week or so at home resting, but after that he's looking forward to coming out with us as soon as possible. He sends his best to all Wayfarers. I took the picture on the tow path near Sunbury lock in early May..............Julian
