Not so many little boxes on the hillside filled with.... Somewhere in east Anglia with family, friends, him and me.

"Hills and valleys are unchanging: the lane still follows the ancient track that men have walked for a thousand years. And each year the seasons return. We may lose faith in mankind but we can never lose faith in the opening bud or the falling leaf." ~C.R.Milne #nature

Heatwave casualty report: My emergency car Jelly Babies have gone rogue. There are no survivors.

What happened to the Jelly Baby style talcum powder they used to dust them with?

“Piglet,” said Pooh, “we’re going on an Expotition. To discover something.”
“To discover what?” said Piglet anxiously. “Nothing fierce?”
“Christopher Robin didn’t say anything about fierce. He said it had an ‘x’.”
“It isn’t their necks I mind, it’s their teeth.” ~A.A.Milne

Pooh took a large lick. “Yes,” he said. “It is honey. And honey, I should say, right down to the bottom of the jar. Unless, of course, somebody put cheese in at the bottom for a joke. Perhaps I’d better go a LITTLE further… just in case Heffalumps don’t like cheese.” ~A.A.Milne

If people ask me,
I always answer,
“Quite well, thank you, how are you today?”
I always answer,
I always tell them,
If they ask me
Politely…
BUT SOMETIMES
I wish
That they wouldn’t.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear. What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.

I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.

Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.  

We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.

This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK.

Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain, or landscape you are walking through.

Together, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.

Please know you are not alone.

Eeyore came close to Pooh, and said in a loud whisper: “Could you ask your friend to do his exercises somewhere else? I shall be having lunch directly, and don’t want it bounced on before I begin. A trifling matter, and fussy of me, but we all have our little ways.” ~A.A.Milne

"I would go down to the river and find a quiet place, secluded, hidden beneath the bank, and sit there for hours, watching the water as it gently twisted and eddied past me. Then I might see a damsel fly, its wings making a dry whispering sound." ~C.R.Milne

It was a Special Pencil Case. There were pencils marked “B” for Bear, and “HB” for Helping Bear. There was a ruler for ruling lines for the words to walk on, and Blue Pencils and Red Pencils and Green Pencils for saying things in blue and red and green. ~A.A.Milne

Christopher Robin finished the mouthful he was eating and said carelessly: “I saw a Heffalump today.”
“I saw one once,” said Piglet. “At least, I think I did.”
“So did I,” said Pooh, wondering what a Heffalump was like. “You don’t often see them at this time of year,” ~A.A.Milne

On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
“Now is it true, or is it not,
“That what is which and which is what?”

On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it’s true
That who is what and what is who.

Pooh opened his eyes with a jerk and said, “Extremely.”
“Extremely what?” asked Rabbit.
“What you were saying,” said Pooh. “Undoubtedly.”
Piglet gave Pooh a nudge, and Pooh, who felt that he was somewhere else, got up slowly and began to look for himself. ~A.A.Milne #snooze

“The year is arranged badly. Why should the days begin to get shorter at the moment when summer is fully arrived? I console myself with the thought that if 22nd June is the beginning of winter, at least there is next summer to which I may look forward.”~A.A.Milne #Summer
