I was a full-time photographer, but got hit badly by #sepsis in 2024. 7 wks in ICU, 4 in a coma, multiple organ failure. Now re-learning how to walk so I can get back into the woods again.

It neglects perhaps the most important aspect of the tax system. The difference between an average salary and the salary of the C-suite - the gap has exploded. And that doesn’t even factor in those at the very top who don’t work but rake in massive incomes off their assets.

I always love listening to American Week, although at the moment there's much less to laugh about. Simon's delivery is always on the money, though!

Thanks Dave and same to you. Hope sepsis didn’t hit you too hard - I’m lucky to have not lost any organs/limbs.

Frithsden Beeches is a beautiful, and under-visited part of the estate. So many big, old trees there!

What's the lesson here?
Sepsis can hit anyone, at any time. 1 in 1000 of all infections become septic. Of those, around 1 in 100 lead to septic shock, where the body starts to shut down.
Be grateful for everything. Don't expect anything from anyone. And don't take anything for granted. 🧵/end

And then maybe, by Spring, I can get back out into the woods again - a year after being admitted to hospital.
Just in time for the beautiful bluebells, which I last saw in May 2023. 🧵/7

When I left the hospital, I was still in a wheelchair. I then progressed to using a walking frame and then in August, I moved on to crutches. Before sepsis hit me like a train, I would walk 20 miles a week in the woods.
Perhaps, before too long, I will be able to walk without crutches again. 🧵/6
