Not the cheeriest of reads, I grant you, but if you are involved in or care about end of life care, I would ask you to read about our family’s experience.

After the tumult of the last two years, we’re beginning to find our feet again and discovering many fantastic walks on our doorstep so we’re trying to make the most of them.

To be fair, it cleared as we walked down. It’s really lovely there. Enjoyed it very much.

Bit late now, but view from the cold tub this morning. Water temperature 14°c

Oh, Jilly Cooper! I’m so sad.

👍🏻 Can highly recommend it as a race both for the beer stop and the iconic aqueduct crossing!

Thanks so much, Toby. The Richard Burton 10k is next on my racing calendar so I hope nothing gets in the way before then! 🐛

Seem to be over the post-viral fatigue at last. Ran 5 miles and enjoyed it very much.

A run/swim/sauna/walk start to the day. Hemmed in by two wallowy men in the pool but had the sauna to myself.

An abundance of birds heard from the cold tub this morning. Water temperature 14°c

Poor Terry’s having a rough time of it today, the others won’t leave her alone.

Thank you so much, Liz, for taking the time and trouble to read Mum’s story. I think most politicians would prefer to look the other way, as if end of life care will somehow take care of itself. xx
