Updates for 2023/24

April 2024

A difficult month! Problems continue to surround me and it is hard to see a way forward. Old age and my face cause great distress to me and basically everyone else. How to get off this slow slide into oblivion is difficult to find; but a pipe dream is easy to cling to!

Aha !!! I do have a broken rib. That's only taken 2 1/2 months to diagnose. Crazy eh! The good news or is it bad news - there is no treatment for a broken rib, so I am discharged! Sneezing still really hurts though, so it hasnt healed yet. Maybe next month or so. But then there's my enlarged prostate problem, my Thyroid problem and my Diabetes 2 problem so a broken rib is relativel minor problem despite the pain it produces. It doesnt sound good does it?? I almost forgot - the Cardiologist who dischargd me 5 years ago seems to have changed his mind and I have been referred to him again. No wonder I'm depressed!

 

Mar 2024

Things are somewhat up in the air at the moment after a nasty fall at health centre. I’m OK but left with damaged ribs and a lot of pain. That knocked job hunting off course; not that job hunting is easy at 73! So I'm a bit wobbly and I have a bust rib and that is going to be an additional problem. That will be behind me in the next month or so and then I can start looking for a job again in the spring. - fingers crossed!

 

The scary thing now is the problem of another accident at home and ending up dead before anyone tries to contact me. That’s what happened a couple of months ago (UK news) when the guy died from a heart attack and his little boy starved to death before anyone noticed they were not out and about. Both dead – gee whiz!

How to avoid such a desperate state of affairs. Yes I know all the obvious answers, but there’s a problem with all of them. A family is of course the perfect answer to such difficulties, but sadly I don't have one anymore. Needs more thought methinks.

Oct 2023
I've decided to press on with job hunting and I'm hoping to be accepted into Bispham Tech College to do an Assistant Teacher course! You must be impressed with my ambition! But what do I know about teaching? Very little! What do I know about Primary Schools? Even less!! But I do know how to fly the latest and greatest RAF fast jets and my English is pretty good, so courage to the fore and get on with it. I have and interview on Wed 10 October and I have already spoken to the College so we'll have to see what happens when the interview is behind me.

 

My A levels (1968 - oh dear!!) and degree (1971 ) must stand for some thing. Nothing I learnt at University can be relevant these days, can it? And then there's my face - what to do about my face - sadly there is nothing I can do? Children tend to be frigtened by it and run away, so perhaps this is all just a pipe dream. There's only one way to find out. Various people have helped me hugely, and for that I am very grateful. With their support (fingers crossed) I must press on.

Jun 2023

Almost 6 months on and there is no progress with a variety of problems. I seem to have disappeared off the various hospital operating lists and with the various strikes (not that I blame anyone for striking) increasing it is difficult to see when anything can be done while there are many more demanding medical situations than mine. My face is getting worse, my left eye is drifting even more and my hearing is now deteriorating quite badly. My left ear is practically useless! But then I'm 73 so whats the point in worrying about my broken head. My GP still insists I have diabetes; I explain I have no symptoms of anything and just carry on happily as usual! I have a number of other problems, but  as I can still do 30 squats with weights maybe all is not lost yet! Time to find another job me thinks.

Jan 2023
Things not going well. I had pinned my hope on the Pastic Surgery in Birmingham, but that looks like it has fallen into the long grass; the very long grass. Any hope the problems caused by Covid had disappeared have been kicked out of sight by the strike problems this year: 2023. I think the doctors and nurses are entirely in the right and I'm sure so do 90% of the peeps in the UK. Every body wants the NHS to work, so the Government needs to get moving!

I can see no point in pushing any more and perhaps I need to accept my age, but my head still thinks I'm 25! Other problems have now come to the fore which have left me wondering what I am to do next as it is all getting very difficult! I have been very lucky so far and must be grateful to various people for helping snd being so kind but there is a limit to what can be done. Perhaps I need to direct my interests to help with expanding my horizons again and make more effort to repay the peeps who have helped me so much.

Hi there to my grandchildren Sam Hughes & Alice Murty & Mike Murty.

I am Keith Murty and if your name is Alice Murty, Mike Murty or Sam Hughes, and your parents name is Dr Sarah Hughes or Peter Murty (Sarah Jane Murty Hughes or Peter Roy Murty) there's a good chance I'm your grandfather / grandad; Dr Judy Murty was of course your grandmother. As we have not met I thought I would introduce myself.

 

I am 71 this May (2021) and I live near the seaside close to Preston . I lived here till I was 18 when I joined the Air Force. I spent 37 years flying everything from a Chipmunk to a Mach 2 fighter like the English Electric Lightning and served over many years as an "A cat" Flying Instructor. So, yes I was flying a supersonic aircraft at the age of 22 - that was almost 50 years ago!

So why is this website for you my grandchildren?

 

It is because your parents and my children Dr Sarah Jane Hughes & Peter Roy Murty have decided they want nothing to do with me, and they have rejected me and all my attempts to get in touch with them! Murty-Hughes family in Manchester UK and Exeter UK.

REJECTED by my own family (Dr Sarah Hughes & Peter Murty) - how sad can anything get? Yes I know it's all my own fault! But even so how horrible can people be? The word "HORRIBLE" is just not horrible enough.

Dr Sarah Murty Hughes mother of Sam Hughes Exeter UK, and Keith Murty grandad of Sam Hughes; Woodbury Exeter UK. After retiring from the Air Force I lived mainly in York; but now I am almost 71 and I have several medical problems. I am old and "knackered" and I have the onset of dementia and that has stolen my short-term memory. I have a mild case of Autism which is why I react badly to people. Finally, I have Parry Romberg Syndrome – PRS. The latter being responsible for the terrible malformation of my eye and face. Anyone of these would be bad enough, but to have all 3 is not fair! My face is not pretty!!! This page on the internet will explain everything:​

Around 2012 my internet business was not doing very well and various things happened. Peter and Jen were getting married and I was informed they were going abroad but the additional cost would be £2400. Murty-Hughes family in Manchester UK and Exeter UK.

 

I had already given Peter £10,000 so when asked to pay the £2400 I had to say no as I quite literally had no money and I couldn’t go. That was the last I heard from Peter; I don’t blame him as it was obviously my fault that happened. He obviously got married but has completely ignored me ever since. Yes I know it was all my fault.

Keith Murty grandad of Alice & Mike Murty & Sam Hughes.

Sometime before all that I had joined Peter and Sarah on a day out but Sarah was very unpleasant, quite hostile and gave me a mouth full of expletives. I was more than upset and took the first opportunity to run away and escape. I waited for her to apologize but she never did. Again I am sure it was my fault for ever putting her in that position. But in the end all I did was hide away in the hope things would somehow improve. I never said anything I just ran away and hid.

 

Shortly after that I was forced to sell the house in York and then I was asked to rescue a friend from Turkey. I thought that would be relatively easy and take a couple of weeks; but she had a baby Alfie and the mess that surrounded him (passports, ID cards and Laura’s boyfriends) turned the whole thing into a nightmare that lasted 6 months. The story was published by me in April 2014. At the end of all that I had lost everything except for a small hold all - everything!

 

I currently volunteer at the the British Heart Foundation shop in Blackpool and when I was in York I worked at the Cancer Research shop. These days I also build and repair computers as a hobby, and that keeps my busy. But things are getting difficult as my eyesight is something of a mess and my memory can be lacking! You can see from this letter that I can still write when its needed, it’s just that it takes a long time. Murty-Hughes family in Manchester UK and Exeter UK.

 

I waited a number of years (far too many) and when I finally plucked up the courage to try to engage Sarah Hughes  with a letter but she promptly told me to go away. Very politely but very unpleasantly. Here is exactly what she said to me in her letter – if in doubt ask her!

     “10 years ago you chose to sever ties with us and to focus on other interests.
       We now choose to not resume a relationship with you.”

Sarah got it slightly wrong!

Sarah did the choosing;

Sarah is the one full of abuse;

Sarah was always unpleasant;

Sarah needs to apologize;

Sarah is the one I spent those years hiding from as I knew what would happen if I tried to sort things out.

Eventually I did try and got rejected exactly as I always feared.

But then I did choose! I chose the only option available to me, and that was to survive; as I had nothing and I knew they wouldn’t help me.

 

I begged for forgiveness and took all the blame for the circumstances that led up to this situation. It was all my fault and I apologized profusely and repeatedly. But they would not accept anything I said. So here we are with me rejected by my own family! Hence this letter on the internet to explain the situation to my grandchildren. Murty-Hughes family in Manchester UK and Exeter UK.

 

So I have no communication with either Sarah Hughes or Peter Murty and I have no wish to bother you their children other than through this letter. But I want you to know who I was and so I have written this resume so that you, my grandchildren, will know at least a little about me and will have heard it from me. 

Sadly I do not trust Sarah Hughes or Peter Murty any more because of the way they have behaved; the things they have said and the actions they have taken. My actions 8/9 years ago were closely scrutinized by the police and the court.

 

Throughout the problems I was having with Laura Lewis, and her son Alfie, and her treatment I was very conscious of the presence of the police. All the the time verging on being arrested for breathing too much, and the need to sort out the problems that arose around Laura. I always tried to ensure the police knew what I was doing and my involvement with Laura. On one occassion the detective I was speaking to asked me if I knew how many young women killl themselved a year because of drug related situations, and would I stop pestering them!

 

While I was in Turkey the Police there helped me with the problems we experienced in their country; the Cypriot police were equally as helpful in sorting out the disaster of the apartment blase and its destruction; in London the Met Police found away to help me get Laura away from the criminal Paul Maneros; and the York Police were involved every day Laura was with me before and after her death. Notice how many Police Forces have helped me in rescuing Laura Lewis from Turkey, Cyprus & London, as she dug ever deeper. Why then would the York Police decide to charge me wih supplying class A drugs to Laura? LUNACY!  Murty-Hughes family in Manchester UK and Exeter UK.

 

So in 2013 the court (Judge and CPS) accepted the explanation I gave for all the events that occurred over the previous 2 years (in considerable detail and with documentary proof) and as a result acted appropriately. The story may have seemed too difficult and fanciful to believe but I told it exactly as it was and proved it was true. All the charges were dropped; an apology was given and I was EXONERATED. 

Sadly I cannot say the same for my children Peter Murty and Sarah Hughes, whose actions were sadly misguided. Murty-Hughes family in Manchester and Exeter UK.
