Sad news I'm afraid, via Brendan and Heather Mackrill
On Monday 10th September, Paul and Gillian Mackrill, were involved in a serious cycling accident.
They were on holiday in the South of France (Lozern), when they were caught on a narrow lane by a car driving too quick.
Gillian died on the spot, and has been taken to a mortuary in Mende (Southern France).
Paul sustained serious injury and is currently in hospital in Nimes. He is badly injured but stable.
He has had two rounds of surgery to fix his face and left arm and is very tired as a result. He has fractured his upper jaw and nose, and has crushed a large number of bones in his left hand. He is fully aware of what is happening but like all of us the full extent hasn't sunk in.
We still don't know when he will be able to leave the hospital but we are hoping some time next week. We are making plans to have Gill brought back to the UK. We will let people know as we finalize plans
