This morning we dropped Woody at work before going on to take Alex for his Sunday training session at the Old Reigatians Rugby Club. With the sun shining George and I didn't bother going home heading straight on to one of our favourite places, Reigate Priory Park, even heading back there once we'd picked Alex up!
George and I kicked a ball about and at one point popped into the highstreet to nip to see the Boots pharmacist. Over the last few days George has developed strange little blisters on his right ear that aren't anything major but are starting to bother him ...with the amount of time we still spend in Hospitals and at the Doctors we thought we'd try the pharmacist as an easier route to manage something that seems pretty trivial. We thought, having looked it up, it's what some refer to as 'juvenile spring eruption' aka. a rash triggered by exposure to sunlight that seems to have resulted in these mini blisters on his ear which are oddly nowhere else to be seen.
The pharmacist didn't know what it was but said they looked like some sort of allergic reaction. I talked through George's cancer and chemo as stranger things can happen after subjecting your body to all of that toxic / invasive treatment but we're still none the wiser (Just to be clear we don't think it's treatment related as that finished a good while ago but equally he's never had it before. As I said, it's only minor so we're not worried about it we simply went because we were there).
Whilst on the highstreet you could visibly see the effort that's gone into the shops being reopened tomorrow! Flags are flying high and shop windows are looking spick and span ready for the easing of the third national lockdown tomorrow! You may or may not know that the Reigate Business Guild have coordinated a treasure hunt that people can start tomorrow with clues being released on their website as of Monday morning with others hidden throughout the town in the shop windows so if you're local be sure to look out for them! (More details on the hunt and the prizes that can be won can be found here,

The Redhilll and Reigate community have not only continued to support our Giant Pledge to Help Beat Childhood Cancer, but also wrapped us in their arms as a family when we were living our own nightmare childhood cancer experience. We can't wait to see their doors open and hopefully businesses and the town centre start to flourish again as of tomorrow!
Between us we've got this.
