I felt most unwell yesterday with symptoms of a chest infection. I was coughing regularly and bringing up a worrying colour of mucus. Feeling unwell could not have come at a worse time. Jess and her two children were at the Holiday Camp across the road, and we were hoping to enjoy our time together once again. I was obviously looking unwell and Jess said: ‘what has happened to happy Paul?’

Paul was feeling far from happy and Jess drove him home and he passed on the evening entertainment and took to his bed .

Things are a lot better this morning. Natural Remedies from Spill the Beans: honey and lemon juice have eased things. Also a cough linctus from Superdrug along with an Echinacea based remedy for Colds and Flu has curtailed the coughing spells.

So Jess: Happy Paul should be back today and the fun will continue.
