To Scunthorpe & a reminder that the NHS isn’t alone in facing massive uncertainty. We need collaboration more than ever, to support each other through challenging times. There’s real energy & commitment here & passion for the place and the people. I’m looking forward to getting to know both

Yesterday was full of light & family & spring. We saw a sign in the sky, walked 7 miles, ate ice lollies…I managed to fit in 2 meetings and blood tests at RLI.

If you couldn’t stay in the UK - because of war, societal collapse, political fear - where would you try to get to? Why?

50th Mothers Day without a mother. School used to be tough - these days I remember her on walks in the high hills which she loved. Love to all who find today difficult ❤️

Spring blinks, rubs its eyes, stretches, yawns, puts on new clothes, sings a song of hope.

This is more true when you’re trying to think in a language not your own. I have just had a conversation with my French neighbour about the fence that divides our land & his peacocks who don’t care for fences. No English, no Google translate. I got a lot wrong, but we managed.

To Birk Bank quarry for a 4 mile walk; came back with bright red face (Billy) and a hypo (me) so hurray for emergency snickers. Forgot to take pics. Fab photo from commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Di...

Because I have nothing to do today, my body has decided it’s a good day for pain. Everything hurts. So I’m going to trick it by making plans to do stuff: cleaning out the kitchen cupboards for starters. Getting up is sometimes a triumph.

Lovely day - stockings, food prep, walk, presents, dinner, food coma, tv and so to bed. Enough books to set up a library, so we’re all happy. Merry Christmas from my family to yours xx

She branded the Duchess of York a “trollop”, Margaret Thatcher “cheap”. One of her tips for cooking a goose was: “Think of someone you do not like, take a fork and stab it viciously all over.” Her banana candle is a triumph (see pic). A heartless cow but she had her moments.

On Fanny Cradock Christmas cookery show the food looked frankly inedible- whipped cream with green colouring studded with glacé cherries, candied ginger. A chicken attacked with secateurs. And then she said “Christmas basically means slave labour for the housewife” and it turns out she was alright.

In a week which saw Sara Sharif’s murderers sentenced and Gisèle Pelicot’s rapists convicted and a woman killed every 10 minutes by a partner or close relative I’m beginning to think Greer was right.
