cancer fundraising
Today I managed to shave my head without managing to leave a bald strip like I did last time 😆 I think that strip has gone now, as my hair had grown enough to do my normal grade 2 all over. I have been thinking about growing my hair again. I’ve had it short for
What a surreal day! A day that began with a message from Andy Labrow, The Alarm’s amazing and hard working tour manager, who asked if I was going to the gig in Oxford, and if so would it be possible for me to lend my Auden Deceiver guitar to Mike Peters for the gig! The

The army of charity teddy bears has been growing over recent times. All these bears are connected to bowel cancer and the profits raised by each of them goes to a different cause. During bowel cancer awareness month I am hoping that as many people as possible will get their bears out and send me
I absolutely love this photo of Mum and Dad on their wedding day. They got married on this day 62 years ago in 1960. They were very happily married for 49 years until Dad died after a short illness of pneumonia and sepsis in 2009. They were married at Stubbings Church in Maidenhead and the
April is bowel cancer awareness month, and I make no apologies for upping the bowel cancer content to all my social media outlets for the next 30 days. Pretty much 10 years ago to the day Mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer. She was 76 years young and over the next four and a half
