Let us not forget the incredible work still happening at local hospices alongside the NHS https://t.co/SCLDT3JV1y

@holwbu No microwave but if I'm free I'll pour it in a pan and boil it down with cardamon, cinnamon, ginger, pepper and cloves and more tea then rehydrate with more milk and add sugar.

Nobody should die alone, we can make a terrible thing a little less terrible

[Benjamin Mark Turton @BenchMarkTurton]

The national clap from the public for frontline staff was lovely. How about something from those who govern - scrap the £120 a year fee nurses have to pay in order to serve.

@LowerySylvia @StDavidsHospice @NightingaleHH They're an amazing team x

[Benjamin Mark Turton @BenchMarkTurton]

Dying alone is one of humanities biggest fears.
@StDavidsHospice we're doing everything we can to keep our patients accessible to their loved ones. To the general public - please stay home to help us stay open to families in need.

@Geterbrewed Thanks for keeping the orders going! I'll be brewing my next batch for all the nurses I work with at St David's Hospice

[Benjamin Mark Turton @BenchMarkTurton]

Please continue to support us @StDavidsHospice our cafes may be closed, our fundraising opportunities limited but we are still striving to provide palliative and end of life care to our community in need

My grandfather-in-law's grave. There are no numbers on it, no date of manufacture or expiry. Instead it presents a family tree. My name is there in the bottom right and I've never been so grateful in reading it. Here is the generosity of death, the gift of life.

6 months leave to help with the beginning of life, why not to help with the end? The need is as. https://t.co/cPLLngy377

@EmmaMclorie It's more about the prestige than the money, I got to wear a bow tie

A summer evening, and Luna paid me £2.70 to be the butler at her tea party
