I am very sorry to hear this.

About 2 years ago I stayed up on RC's farm and it was a great experience, I joined a wedding party up the road, got his motobike stuck in a mire and even helped him give birth to a calf (well, I filmed him pulling it out - not an easy job either). RC was very hospitable, it was a great breakaway from the city, the locals were great and Mrs Chances cooks a great steak.

I feel utterly helpless to offer any advice or help, I have no idea what to suggest, however - all I know, from my own experiences, is that something always comes up before you give up.

RC you've got your head screwed on a little bit more than I have, you've got a lovely missus and no doubt plenty of friends - hope we catch up again someday and that when we do, we'll both be on our feet.

Keep us posted and let me know if there's anything I can do.
