Cherish the time you have with elderly parents. These jerseys were my mum and dad’s. GB representatives at the 1960 and 1963 World Championships (mum in the RR/dad in TP). I wish I’d asked more questions when mum was alive…

#notmyorangecat being VERY needy today. Refused to eat chicken breast until I’d lightly fried it, shunned my Zipp stem, choosing instead to lick his nuts. This dude is living his best life… twice over as I found he lives six houses up 😂

I rarely post on here (or other platforms) anymore. My bipolar & addiction preclude me from rational posting most times. But I enjoy the interactions I have & I am thankful for that. Dealing with MH issues isn’t something I ever had on my bingo card, but some amazing people support me. Thx to them x

Realisation of the enormity of what I’ve exacted upon myself has hit home. Five weeks in detox & rehab and now back to the familial “home”… the optimism and hope has now waned to an acceptance of limbo. Back to the samo environment.
Thankfully I made fast and true friends in the clinic - love them x

For those that follow me and my sad little life - as of Monday I am going into detox and rehab for a month. It’s intensive and I won’t have access to social media, nor my phone*
See you on the flip side x
My WhatsApps etc will be limited leading into my admission too.

Be gentle. Be kind, be thoughtful; be empathic, and above all, don’t be a dick. Call out shithousery and be brave and steadfast.
These are not weaknesses, rather strengths of character that are being eroded daily atm. X

Had my first AA meeting last night. I want to thank my eternal friend Simon Lillistone for taking me there, staying with me (despite me wanting to leave). The concept of a higher power is foreign to me; religion having been soured in my youth. But I will take what I can and go again. ##addiction

This. Wasn’t joking about the cash. Its a mere 10 days.. if you want to help, you can Dm me and I can put you in touch. Or Katy, or Harry! 🙏🏻
These guys have ten days to find the sponsorship funds they need - and that's already with an extended deadline to obtain a UCI license from British Cycling - so if you or anyone you know can help in ANY way at all please get in touch with them! 🙏

Well… two months exactly since I last touched a bike. As I’ve mentioned previously depression and addiction have taken over my life; I’ve had zero interest in anything other than chasing that next fix. Until today. Lots of work to do, but it’s a start… Col x
