Thanks again to all of you! Your support has helped as well.
Specialists have told us that Rowan has made a remarkable recovery. He still has some recovering to do, but so far, he has surpassed expectations.
Rowan and I were able to take a much-needed holiday this Christmas ... away from appointments etc. ... and we spent some of the time walking and cycling in quiet parts of Tasmania. It was really nice to be in the midst of rainforests and on peaceful idyllic country roads. We were also fortunate to stay in some very nice, out of the way places ... best of all was probably a 4 night farm stay on a historic property. We were surrounded by fields and farm animals ... and were adopted by the property owner: Mr Higgins.

Mr Higgins is the property cat.
We actually did a 40 km bicycle ride one of the days which is the most either of us have done in one ride since Rowan's accident!! That was something of a milestone.
I got some action shots of us trying to pose by "The Big Tree" in one of the rainforests ...
