Another day that has not gone to plan, not that you would know from this photo of Prince happily eating his tea tonight. Anyone who read yesterday’s post will know we should have been in Leeds this weekend. Today things Prince has been my concern. He has defied the odds for the last four and

Today I stopped off in Maidenhead on my work travels to take my Bowelbabe teddy to the famous railway bridge that spans The River Thames.

It was exactly three years ago that I did my last public fundraising event when I went to the Bowel Cancer UK Patients Day in Manchester. The Record was a couple of weeks away from its official publication date, so I took copies along to sell along with some Stop Bowel Cancer Teddies. It was
