This made me so happy. Daughter and granddaughter of my friend and mentor Syd Young (who always called Grace “Amazing” - like it was her name)
loving her show at Bristol! Really proud that Grace has united the generations in loving her comedy. Mums and daughters get last tickets for Apollo Sunday!

All the evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…

And that deprivation has hit a record high

Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits
