LAST year I had the pleasure of meeting young Reece Turnbull. As Chris Langley said (Little Reece on road to health, October 20), he really is a smashing little lad.

Through your columns and also the grapevine I have followed his problems with much interest and so was thrilled to bits to read of his successful operation.

I would like to wish both Reece and his mum Joanne every success for the future and have a "fantabulistical", time in Disneyland!
