We got back from the Island at 6pm last night.
As we queued at the sea terminal in Douglas, I caught the news about Hilary.
The 26th incident had already left us stunned, but the fact that Hilary was involved just added a new horrible dimension.
I have never met her, but have known of her through her racing exploits and subsequently through here.
I found it particularly poignant that "two of ours" (Hilary and Shaun Harris) had suffered during this TT.
Then I thought again and realised that because they ARE "ours", they have a huge support network and that is a real positive.
May I offer my sympthies to Shauns family and wish them every strength to cope during this difficult time.
I also wish the offer condolences to the bereaved.
Finally, best wishes and loving thoughts to the Musson family, close and "wider"

Get well soon Hilary.

As I said to the Witch on the phine last night, now we now why she had to be on theIsland at this time.
I have no doubt that she will be very supportive.
