Peter Cole

Many of you will remember Peter Cole, who did the same Quiz League Secretary’s job I do now for many, many years, along with playing for the CAP team based at the St Dunstan.

Peter and his wife Tina moved down South to live near Milton Keynes some years ago and I was very sorry to hear this week that Peter had a nasty accident on New Year’s Day.

Peter, Tina and several friends had stayed at a château in France for a New Year’s Eve Gala dinner. On New Year’s Day, whilst walking in the château grounds, Peter slipped on some steps and broke both his arms. His left elbow has a compound fracture which has required seven pins and two plates to hold it together whilst his right upper arm is broken, fortunately not quite as badly. After being taken to a French hospital, it took several days to sort out the usual procedures to bring him home to the UK.

Peter is now back at home after a further few days in a Milton Keynes hospital. He is feeling a little better but it sounds like full recovery will be a long haul.

Tina has let me know that any information on useful websites for home care / ideas about healing remedies / messages of support generally would be very gratefully received.

I have emailed Peter's contact details separately and won't post them again here, but do feel free to contact me if you have mislaid them and would like them again.
