My courageous, kind, wise and humble stepfather: RIP ♥️ 💔
Thank you for 16 weeks of incredible care and compassion Bronte Ward @KingstonHospNHS @nhskingston_
My mother got married on Wednesday to her partner of 30 years. I can now legitimately call Simon my stepfather 🥰. He has been in @KingstonHospNHS for 16 weeks. Thank you with all my heart TEAM 💫 BRONTE 💫WARD for making this happen. Happy sad but a day to treasure. ♥️
"The assurance of its style alone would make The Doloriad a superlative novel. That such stylistic power is in service of a plot so strange, counter, original, raises The Doloriad’s achievement to something astonishing."

This beautiful book #wildair was waiting for me yesterday when I got home from work. I’ve just read the introduction and am already smitten ( 🧡: ‘tatty kilt’ & bagpipes & syrinx) … what a treat in store. Thank you @JMLockhart2@4thEstateBooks 🦅
Ward with a view
felt v.fortunate to stride over & admire the light & little blue door while the bed-bound, like my stepfather couldn’t. Remembered how i thought of my visitors as ballet dancers as i ogled the ease & freedom with which they moved.
he left Brontë for 8 days on ICU & then returned to Brontë. There’s this one sister who was on duty today, she found time to give him a meaningful pep talk, sing to the patients in his bay(& what a voice) fetched me a chair #kindness#goingtheextramile @KingstonHospNHS #NHS
