More amazing support for the Gift-A-Bears. Debbie & Howard Meredith sent me these brilliant photos from the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading today, where they were delivering a complete set of 4 Gift-A-Bears they have kindly purchased to the Kempton Day Bed Unit where children with cancer and other illnesses are treated, and where there
So today I will begin with a cryptic photo puzzle… Your starter for 10 is guessing what links the three photos? Gift-A-Bears, Freya North and her latest novel Little Wing. The answer will be revealed in the not too distant future. I met Freya, who is an Ambassador for Bowel Cancer UK, back in 2015
Tonight I made a reel for Instagram with the intention of posting it on here too. Typically the audio track will only play on the Instagram App (copyright issues), so I have had to embed it here as the only way of showing it, but don’t be put off from watching it. Anyway, it’s basically
Today I managed to combine a work delivery with a visit to my sister in the Cotswolds. We haven’t been able to get together since before Christmas, so I actually got some presents from them. A little weird opening festive gifts at the end of January, but very nice of course 😊 One of the
Really lovely to see another Gift-A-Bear reach its new home. Sacha kindly sent me this lovely photo with her new teddy in a hoodie, Cuddles, which was gifted to her by Rachel. Both these ladies have had bowel cancer, and those that know me will already know that my mum died of this wretched disease

Today I picked up my copy of Freya North’s new book which is called Little Wing. It’s been a long time coming for her 15th novel, but I am sure that the wait will be worth it. I was very fortunate to meet Freya back in 2015 for my Lives & Times bowel cancer charity
It’s definitely happening!! On The Way Back my charity song by Fields of Dawn will be played by Richard Latto on Stereo Underground on BBC Sounds this Saturday night between 6.00 and 8.00pm. You can listen live or on catch up. If someone had told me two years ago when I released the Sunrise acoustic
Another lovely Gift-A-Bear came to fruition with Danielle Slawsby from the USA gifting Honey Bear to Lizzie Hulme in the UK for her birthday. Danielle sent me the following message… “I met Lizzie during lockdown on a Zoom chat for fans of The Alarm. We have become great friends over the last 6 months via
Today has been a different kind of day. I have had new radiators sitting in my dining room for the best part of a year waiting to be installed. My own fault not organising it, but finally had them installed today along with the boiler getting serviced, so a very good job done, and hopefully
