MY definition of an amazing human being, is someone who is there for you when you are at your lowest. He was, and is still there. My choice is to LOVE the man I know, and the decisions he makes.❤️❤️

To the VERY small minority of people who were offended by my comment yesterday I apologise. I tried to find humour in a situation-that doesn’t mean I condone it, it means I wanted it to not be an issue. So don’t change the narrative to justify how you feel.❤️Be kind❤️

Today I’m 45 and the happiest I have ever been in my life. I surround myself with people I love and would die for, I try to do the right thing but more importantly I know I will sometimes fail, cry, and be sad, and strangely it’s knowing that, that makes me happy.

Watching G.C.S.E. Results got me thinking. 30 years ago today, I failed every exam. Was told I would never achieve anything. I worked hard, did my dream job, but more importantly 10 years after retirement, I’m happy. Not rich, not famous, just happy. Today doesn’t define you.

A good afternoon in the studio for ITAvFRA. As expected tho, many sexist comments about women working on men’s rugby. Those who comment are not worthy a response. Rugby is not a gender, it’s a sport and my accolades far out way what any of those sexist individuals have achieved!!
