ESTHER WANTS WHAT WE ALL WANT: A DIGNIFIED DEATH
Dame Esther Rantzen has lent her support in the past to @CaudwellCharity's mission to transform the lives of disabled children, in addition to the work she’s done for her charities @Childline, @TheSilverLineUK and other causes. 1/
If I knew I only had months left to live, in pain and agony without a cure, like Esther, I would sign up to Dignitas.
But I’d much rather have a peaceful death at home in England, surrounded by loved ones, than at a clinic in Switzerland.

It makes no sense to me that we put our pets to sleep at the end of their lives, to prevent unnecessarily prolonged suffering, but deny the same compassion and kindness to our fellow humans.

.@SpearsMagazine reports on Caudwell's restoration of French Riviera landmark Le Provençal, 'a magnificent Art Deco palace with an illustrious heritage'.
We're creating a new legacy for Cap d'Antibes.

LEVELLING UP ON POTHOLES
My #potholes post last week struck a nerve. It seems they're everywhere... But are they equal everywhere?
Here's another aspect of this pothole pottiness to mention as voters head to the polls in local elections... 1/

At my London home in Mayfair, where I've never encountered a proper road crater, they recently shut down all the roads around me for resurfacing.
Why do some councils have money for this, even when it's unnecessary, while others are so woefully underfunded?! #potholes 2/
I don't like kneejerk "us-and-them, London-versus-everywhere else" accusations, but it's hard to argue against the unfairness of these kinds of basic infrastructural inequalities.
The entire country needs decent, drivable - safe! - roads.

I'm proud to come from stunning Staffordshire - where, amongst other things, we get some of the most beautiful rainbows 🌈 - and to still call it home.
Happy Staffordshire Day!
👉 How many Staffordshire folk follow me? If not Staffordshire, where are you proud to call home?
Wonderful to see The King return to public duties this week, looking so well and, once again, using his own health scare to raise awareness and help others. 👏👏
Happy anniversary to my @Vzesniauskaite. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was a charity bike ride that brought us together ten years ago today, and what a ride it's been ever since.
Ten years of love, adventure and good causes with my partner and soulmate. #happyanniversary
For our 10th anniversary, @Vzesniauskaite commissioned @TheSimpsons-inspired artist Stefano Monda to make the portrait on the left.
It's an addition to the earlier one on the right. No denying the impact William and Isabella's arrivals have had! And not forgetting Cookie 🐶.
The road to hell is paved with potholes...
My @LinkedInUK post today about the country's pothole plague is attracting a lot of attention, including some very knowledgeable observations and potential solutions.

Let's see photos of the potholes where you are. I will be happy to reshare if you tag me.
Ahead of upcoming local elections, let's see if we can get politicians to actually take notice - and, most importantly, take action!
