Great publicity in Closer magazine on the dangers of ketamine highlighting Louise’s story and the need for legal regulation. Important now that the government is talking about reclassifying to Class A which would be a disaster. @transformdrugs.bsky.social campaigns on! #ketamine #legalregulation

Yesterday at a family gathering we toasted Louise on her 35th birthday. It’s so hard to imagine what might have been - she’s still the same beloved memory to all of us. How we miss her. Here she is in some of her many guises last one with her adored big brother and childhood playmates. #lovealways

Yesterday we said farewell to Princess Pickle. She was Louise’s cat & the renewed bereavement is hard. Feisty characterful and loving. I like to think of her and Louise’s spirits mingling & reunited somewhere. Their memories remain bound forever. Go well warrior Princess. Rest in power.
