Get himself to make you a hot whiskey with, honey, lemon, sugar and cloves. Might not cure you but will help you sleep.

Yes but quite impressed . They were only being kind. Probably not everyday you come across two senior citizens in a queue for them. 🤭

Life’s for living. Stephen and I are not “ in the first flush of youth” any more. Still twenty something in our heads and now definitely the oldest people at some of the concerts we go to.We were queuing for 30 seconds to Mars, and some girls gently asked who we “thought “ we were going to see?😂

We try to go to at least one a month

Belated birthday wishes. Hope you had a great day and “himself” spoiled you. 🎉🍾🎂💐🎁

It was just a few years before he died. His voice wasn’t as strong, obviously, but after the first couple of songs , he relaxed into it and the magic was still there.

Love that song . Saw Gordon Lightfoot a few years ago. Brilliant concert.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I’ve just found this as well. Such a beautiful story. 🦉Made me smile. Smiles have been in very short supply for Stephen and me recently. Going to plant some spring bulbs in memory of his sister and mum . 💐

daughter just told me every Friday her class has a “burial” for the pencils too small to be sharpened anymore 😭😭 one of her classroom jobs is to give the eulogy 😭😭 THERE IS A SMALL COFFIN 😭😭😭😭

Twenty one days ago we were in England for Stephen’s sister’s funeral. This morning we are getting ready to go to his mum’s funeral. 😢

BREAKING NEWS:

Stephen’s mum died this morning, a month after his sister. So much sadness is hard to deal with.

Horse racing should be done without jockies. Let's see if the horses really do want to run and race each other without some bellend with a whip on their back.

Gardening question. Any recommendations for the best planting medium for spring bulbs in pots? Crocus, narcissus, grape hyacinths and snowdrops?

Sometimes you just wish for things to end.

We’re sitting in Manchester airport waiting to fly home. Our flight is delayed. Not what we need when coming home from a funeral

Back at the hotel,exhausted after attending Stephen’s sister’s funeral. Many tears but also laughter and wonderful memories shared with family, friends and her colleagues from her years as a consultant rheumatologist. ❤️Flying home tomorrow. His mum is close to death so much more sadness ahead of us😢

Flew to Manchester yesterday and we are now with family members and friends gathering for Stephen’s sister’s funeral later today. Our son stayed at home to sit with his granny in hospital, who is in her last few days of life. I really have no words to describe our feelings at the moment. 😪

I'd much rather we have a Department of Peace. #MakeBiscuitsNotWar

Sitting in a very uncomfortable plastic hospital chair keeping Stephen’s sister company as we sit by their Mum’s bedside. She is 94, gravely ill and slowly slipping away from us. His other sister died two weeks ago , so life is difficult at the moment. 😥
