cancer fundraising
When it comes to fundraising ideas, they usually come to me in an instant and I act on them impulsively. During bowel cancer awareness month I knew that this was a strong possibility. So, today I’ve decided to write and record a new Fields of Dawn music release Check Your Poo! to raise funds for
The last few days have been busy busy busy! The start of bowel cancer awareness month and what would have been my parent’s 62nd wedding anniversary. Big deals and had to take their rightful place in my journal posts. So going to see The Alarm in Leeds on Friday was slightly overshadowed. It’s weird because
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

Last Friday I went to see The Alarm play live in London. My first gig in over two years and what a fantastic evening it was. Well what is the phrase about all buses coming at once. I have now booked up to see them in Leeds on Friday night, so I will head up
One of my favourite local landmarks is the Cobstone Windmill, famously known for being the windmill in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I drive past it most weeks as I cut through the back lanes to Junction 5 of the M40. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to get a couple of photos with the Life
I’ve been wondering what to say about Mother’s Day. Like anyone who no longer has their mum it is a day of mixed emotions with happy memories with a helping of sadness thrown in. Neither Mum or Dad were ones for having a fuss made of these kind of occasions, so if I am honest
