I did.
Past tense. Took the family on one to Norway. Bonded with the teens - they couldnโt escape ๐คช The silence of the deck when everyone was inside partying. A big boat in vast seas put me in my place. Easy to avoid the crowds. I came away, not a convert but, it was good.

Iโm completing an NHS course currently. We can do better than depicting a 58 yr old woman as someone grey-haired, wearing twin set and pearls and in possession of a walking stick surely!
To note, none of those descriptors are relevant to the course.

Iโm not political but the last few days have struck a chord. No one has highlighted what happens to the children that arenโt wanted, that arenโt loved. Victoria Climbiรฉ, RIP, age 8. 22 years ago. I had to read the report into her death for work. Iโve never forgotten it, or her.
