I know how hard and stressful a decision this will have been for you, and also that you will have acted from a place of love. There is no manual for any of this, and do find what ever peace you can.

I wonder what the difference is between a Β£6.5k a day wellness clinic and a Β£13k a day establishment? Weetabix instead of supermarket own brand?

Two Spanish exchange students, a Ukrainian host, and our youngest daughter for dinner this evening. A pleasure to cook for them all, I learned a lot, laughed even more and realised the future can be bright. Let's just not fuck it all up before they get their chance to make it a better place.

Cardiff couple invited man in for Christmas, he stayed for 45 years An arrangement Rob and Dianne Parsons thought would last a few days ended up changing their lives.

Not sure why you would want to sue a news corporation with this standard of editorial decision making...

Hand written label I recently discovered giving clear and concise directions regarding "Eletric barbies" and sensible precautions: "warning don't put in water", written by my big, grown up daughter when she was less big, but just the same as she  is today in so many wonderful ways.

Russia's ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, boasted about Brexit to another diplomat:
β€œWe have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees and will not rise for a very long time”
Today, Farage’s close ally, leader of Reform in Wales, was sentenced to 10yrs for taking bribes from Russia.

Snap! From the very first route working with Tony Clark and Alister Bartlett. We were even (briefly) arrested by a platoon despatched by armoured personnel carrier at impressive speed from Larkhill... Never say no to a rock cake...

I wonder why a political party set on introducing private health care might want to take away your property?

Thank you for posting these photos from the site, my colleague Andy and I conducted the geophysical survey that revealed the intriguing arc of internal features and is great to see them excavated here!
