I always used to call my mother after a tv broadcast. Always. And especially if I had a new dress or a new haircut. I have a new dress tonight and it hits me with a bang again. Like it’s new news. I mentally reach for the phone, for her. And a little silent sob.

My mother lost her mother when she was 22 & about to have her 1st baby. Unfathomable heartbreak followed, losing her beloved husband when she was 8.5mths pregnant with her 4th, she buried her 1st son on his 34th birthday. Her pains are over now. She will rest in peace.

A lady driving a car, pulled up next to my son on the road, rolled down the window and told him he should be on the path. Just to be 100% clear. This is not acceptable behaviour from a motorist. Day2 cycling to secondary school solo. I’m a bit cross. (He’s super fine)

This summer a woman beeped at a child I was cycling with. When I stopped and suggested this was unacceptable she put her hand around my throat, throttled me, then pulled her nails across my neck drawing blood. This is not appropriate behaviour on our roads.
8-year-olds shouldn't have to worry about motor traffic on their cycles to and from school.
The solution is straightforward: Create networks of safe, segregated cycle routes across our urban areas which enable people of all ages & abilities to cycle. That's it.

Person on a bike poorly judged right turn timing in front of my car this morning. I braked, waited, smiled & waved. Took about 2 seconds out of my day and didn’t incite ire. Maybe because I’m a cyclist too and I know we’re generally just trying to get about uninjured.

In 1984 I used my babysitting money to buy my mother a wooden rolling pin. Before then she’d always used an old bottle. I thought; my mother deserves to have her own rolling pin. She still has it, doesn’t make pretty pies, but she makes tasty ones.
