Hi Peggy,

Does your daughter like yoghurt? You can buy a stock of those very small, petit yoghurts… you just peel back the lid, drop the dex on top and one good scoop picks them all up and they go down so easily… followed by a drink of water… you can then put the rest on your daughters cereal if she likes it… but given the size of the…[Read more]

Hi Martin
Know one can answer your question,!!! it would not matter if your dad was young or old,the fact is how much fight has he in him,I would agree with Min,we do not give enough credit to older people.Do not write them off!!!!

Sounds like you had a great time on the rivers David and now on to St Ives, one of my favourite places – St Ives would be my first choice given that you are going to share it with family.

The holiday bargain was an added extra I must say, well done! Together with your Saints and Ladders holiday earlier this year you have done well! 8-)…[Read more]

Hi Gill I couldnt agree more , on bad days it makes the world of difference to be able to park that little bit closer Whilst I understand how people get upset at misuseof blue badges I do get annoyed when they make judgements on how you lookSometimes I feel like brandishing an x-ray of my bones at them !! Blue Badgers ROCK!!!!

For such a young man I'm totally astounded by his bravery I couldn't even begin to think how I would feel at his age, diagnosed at just 17. The journey with Ali was so beautiful and they didn't approach it naively they were very mature and strong about their decisions. powerful and…[Read more]

In Alex's case it was an almost instant call of terminal illness and he was determined to make the most of the rest of his short life… although he was surrounded…[Read more]

Cannot agree more,at times i do not know how i would have managed our hospital parking,is so so so bad,plenty of spaces for staff,then patients,very little for disabled!!!
