ON THURSDAY 4TH OF JANCommital at Crematorium in morning - close friends and family only so you will have to get formally invited and therefore told time etc (by verbal invitation). We would prefer if you didn't buy flowers, but instead donated money to charity as your tribute to Robb. The money will be split between two charities, these are The Asphaleia Project - Robb was an active trustee of

Unfortunately this post is to mark the end of Robb's blog. Robb has not been blogging recently because he was diagnosed with cancer again, this time it was more serious, it had spread to his liver, spleen, chest and spine. The prognosis was not good and doctors said he would not be cured, he started Chemotherapy to try and reduce the cancer and therefore the pain, he had one treatment two weeks

I passed my first year of accountancy exams! I was leaping around the room when I found out, as I honestly thought I was going to fail.Only 4 years to go!Here's a little tip for you. Never stand close behind someone who's trying to hit a golf ball with a seven iron. I did this on Saturday and the person attempting to hit the ball (my girlfriend) missed everything except the side of my head. It

Maybe this is a slightly strange photo, but you'll never get a serious one out of Will. Will is my other brother who has been away for the last year, but now is home.I've missed him very much these last 12 months, and it is so great to have him back. It's like having a very close friend return, and it's so amazing. I guess you're never as close to anyone and your brothers, and I feel sorry for

And I mean that quite literally! I'm now an uncle to Luke Matthius Heaton. My brother Tom and his wife Monika are the proud parents.He's very cute, and I actually feel more attached to him than I thought I would. I changed a nappy for the first time in my life a few weeks ago - it wasn't the most pleasant experience, but it may be a useful skill for the distant future.

I really had a strong feeling today that my blog was lacking a tribute to the finest musician in the world.No one's music and words have touched me in the way Bob's have. I'm currently reading a biography of his, and the life he leads is truly strange, but very alluring in a "that sounds cool but only from a distance" kind of way.Utterly unique - I salute you Bob Dylan!

I've added my girlfriends blog to the links on this page. She's currently studying at Kingston Uni, doing a fine art degree. If you have any interest in art, then keep an eye on her page, as she'll be posting pictures of her work and other such goodies in the near future, and i'm sure she'd love to hear your comments and views.

Sorry about the lack of tattoo pictures, I have lots of course work to do and I'm lazy! I'll post them soon.I have some bad news, my mother is going into hospital today. About 10 days ago she got the news that she has bowel cancer. Not the most pleasant of operations is needed, and of course I worry for her in the long term.Perhaps now is not the time to bring this up, but it's been floating

Well, inspired by several folks starting to blog again recently, I thought I'd do a post.I'm a little nervous at the moment as in a couple of hours I'm going to talk to some people at an alpha course about me getting ill. Very strange if you ask me, and also it's the first time I've done anything at church for about 6 months and it's giving me the shakes just thinking about it.On another subject

Two posts in two days - that's gotta be some kind of record for me. I'm so excited - I'm going to Cyprus on Sunday with Jeni and her family (minus her sister cos she's away working).8 days in the sun - relaxing, no phone calls no work and lots and lots of fun. I've never been to a hot country before, and it's only the 3rd time I've ever been on a plane. I love the acceleration when they take off,

Yes, I've come out of blogger retirement to post about a very unusual event that occurred just last night.I've been struggling for nearly a year with anxiety. Last night I had what I believe was a spiritual experience.I've been thinking a lot about God and Christianity over the last year. I've had ups and downs and points where I think Jesus is the answer and points where I think Jesus and God

This could well be my final ever post on this blog, as I'm thoroughly sick of blogging and i don't think i have much to blog about any more. I may at some point in the future start another blog, but from this post on I'm officially in retirement. I want to leave you with a nice poem/ode to my darling girl Jeni. Lovely beyond my wildest dreams, more generous than a really generous person,

I've just re-read yesterdays post and I think it's a bit O.T.T. now. Maybe I was in a bad mood or something, but I appear to have made my parents out to be monsters, which they are not. I was tempted to remove the post, but decided to keep it there in the end. On Sunday it's my birthday (Hurray!) and not only does it mark another year in my life, but it also marks a year since I was diagnosed

I started this blog with the intention of helping to clear my head and to share my experiences, however recently I haven't bothered to post anything because I couldn't think of anything to write that would interest people. I suddenly realized about 5 minutes ago that it doesn't matter how many people comment on each post or if they agree or disagree or like what I write or find it boring - it's

On Sunday evening I had a few folks round my house, and I over-heard someone talking about me. Do you know what - they described me as 'metro-sexual'! I'm not totally sure what this means, but I think it refers to men who are into their looks too much and use products designed originally for women such as moisturizers conditioners and exfoliators etc. I'm not offended by what they said - I

In my last post I mentioned a bit about the cell group I lead. For a little background info (and a little boasting session) I've been leading the cell group for over a year and a half, and I took over from a lovely couple, who are still really good friends. When I first took the group there were about 4 or 5 people turning up each week. The meetings were pretty forced and awkward, and I think it

Sorry, I said I would post on Monday to say how the check-up went, but I've been thrown in at the deep end at work, and it's been manic, and also I haven't slept well for 2 days because I fell over playing footy at the weekend and grazed my hip (what a doofus!) The check-up went very very well (HURRAY). The moles they didn't like last time haven't changed at all, and pose no threat if they're

NOT! I've got to go back up to London on Friday for my second check-up. Naturally I'm not looking forward to it at all, but some things just have to be done. When I walk down the corridors of St Georges Hospital (which are huge by the way - it's one of the biggest hospitals in Europe) my mind is flooded with all the memories from last year. Some of what I feel is relief, but also large doses of

I was just reading Duncan Whites Blog about his experiences in India. He had written something about peace, and another friend commented about finding peace in the Bible and in God. He went through a massive list of bible verses and instructions. He said he was going to use it as the basis to a talk for a church youth group. To be honest it gave me a head-ache just reading, so I replied to his

I started this blog with the intention of sharing some of my experiences about having cancer. However I soon got bored with limiting myself and wondered onto other topics, but now I've been told I'm suffering from 'Post Traumatic Stress syndrome', so I thought this would be a good place to vent some of my fears and questions. It's funny cos if you'd asked my opinion about post traumatic stress

I went away last week to 'Newday'. There certainly wasn't anything new about it though - it was your usual Christian youth camp in a field with lots and lots of long meetings. I used to love these camps, and as a teenager I would really enjoy the worship in big groups and the atmosphere and meeting with the holy spirit in a big way. However this year I was going as a helper (which really means

Is love an emotion or an act? I could say I love someone, and I might feel like I do emotionally, but if I never act with love, do I really love them? I'd say I couldn't do, and my emotions have just tricked me into thinking I do. If you say you love your wife, but never show her affection when she needs it, never buy her gifts, or never sacrifice anything of any significance for her, how can

It may be boring to read lots of stuff about my life, but it really helps me to write down what i'm feeling at the moment. I had the most horible experience last Sunday night, when i was completely filled with dread. It was manageable for a couple of days, but then on Tuesday night I had a complete freak out, and the fear just consumed me completely. The wierdest thing is that I had no reason to

I went to a 'party' this weekend. It was quite amusing as I didn't know anyone apart from my brother, and he left after a little while, so I was all on my own. I was just thinking what a nice bunch of people they were and how welcome they made me feel, when I started getting into some more meaningful conversations. The thing that stood out to me was how deeply unhappy so many of the people there

Well, I've been to bed for a few hours, and now feel ready to carry on with my tale. In my last post I concentrated on all the negative things that were going on, but now I'd like to share some of the positives. To set the scene, when I heard that I had cancer, I was a few months into doing a year with jubilee community church, so the timing was amazing. I had saved up before the year and was

I'm not sure what I'm doing here really, but I just read Duncan Whites blog, and it reminded me that my old housemate Dave Burns said I should write a blog about the experience I faced recently. So here I am doing just that. On 28th November 2003, which happened to be my 21st birthday, I was told by the doctors at Southlands hospital in Shoreham that a mole they removed the week before was
