Years ago I was involved in helping to set up a local organisation aimed at helping carers. I was also on their Board of Directors for a couple of years. Because I've had such a change of circumstances over the last 18 months, I wanted to find something to get me out of the house for a few hours a week when I'm not at…
Just wanted to say how brave and courageous I think young Bradley Lowery has been fighting his neuroblastoma as he has. I've been following his story with a sad heart. I truly hope his passing, when it comes, is a peaceful one. I know he'll be surrounded by his family, all of whom love him so deeply. My heart goes out to…

Blowers was my favourite, with his "dear old thing", talk of the ball "bobbling"…

I believe we have been let down by the politicians, but it seems like there is a lot of bloodletting to do before the end, even with Brexit talks approaching…
