A bit o’ nostalgia for Bewick fans, with fitting music, may well have been posted before, but hey I’ve watched it a couple times since coming across it the other day.

Hiya,
Thanks everybody for your kind thoughts, the Missus had her final chemo on Dec
the 23rd and will be receiving quite intensive radio therapy in the new year, so
it has been a quiet but pleasant Christmas for us this year, the chemo leaves my
Missus very tired so we won’t be getting out very much, Just grateful I’ve gotten
a relief driver for the 80 I don’t want the new Bewick Empire grinding to a halt
before the first trailer gets roped and sheeted “properly” I hasten to add, all the
best everybody, and a spot of good luck to “trucknetters” everywhere in 2017.
thanks harry, long retired.

Best wishes to you Harry.

The last couple of years on here, revisiting old times, has been great. Thanks to you all.

Hope the coming year holds good things too!
