I think I’ll stick to rugby… At 83 minutes, thinking: “They’ve got this!” I succumbed to the desperate looks from my cross legged dog, & took her out for her evening “wee”! Turns out a lot can happen in 10 minutes of football! Commiserations to all of my England football supporting colleagues!

One of my favourite fundraising events… our “Men’s Walk to Support”… an opportunity for men (500+ today) to come together in support of the hospice but with an emphasis on creating opportunities to talk about friends, family and loved ones who have died!

It’s been a busy week with radio interviews, presentations to our amazing supporters & donors and the usual busyness of the day job BUT a real treat to end the week with a Zip Wire, 150ft up in front of Bath’s Royal Crescent! It’s there all weekend if you’re in Bath!

No one should face death alone! Current funding (20% from the government) places huge pressure on who can receive our care, at a time when we want everyone to have equal access to our specialist support. ://www.dorothyhouse.org.uk/news/dorothy-house-hospice-care-urgent-funding-appeal-launched/

Whilst a wonderful and special time for many, Christmas can also be a sad time; triggering feelings of loss, grief and emotional distress. You are not alone and support is there if you need it: www.partoflife.org/blog/grief-s...

Two of our fabulous volunteers on the Dorothy House Hospice “Ubiety” #BathChristmasMarket stall today. Until we get more than 20% of our funding from NHSE, we continue to find innovative ways to fund our specialist end of life care because our communities need us now more than ever! #HospiceCare

It’s the “Big Yin’s” birthday today. Perfect way to lift the grey of “Storm Bert” with a quote: “Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey... Doesn't try it on.” Happy Birthday Billy! #StormBert #BillyConnolly

It feels fitting that this article should be my first post here. I was struggling with “X” long before the US election but the last few months became intolerable. Hoping to find inspirational thought leaders coupled with wit and some fun stuff too!
