This is wonderful

A court that exceeds expectation.

New blog post - five people in their 90s at the centre of COP hearings in December.... and @kitzingercelia.bsky.social ponders whether she can plan ahead to avoid being a P in her old age (and decides probably not).

Learning from five nonagenarians: Can we avoid becoming a “P” in the Court of Protection in our old age?
In a single month, I observed five hearings involving nonagenarians – people in their nineties. I can’t imagine that anyone would choose to be involved – or to have their family members invol…

Gentle start for #nhs1000miles 2026. 2 small Wainwright summits for 8 very frosty boots-on hiking miles. Here's us on #Dodd this morning. Pretty sure this will be my last summit before knee surgery next Sat, tho' I hope to clock a few more miles this week #LakeDistrict @kitzingercelia.bsky.social
