It was also a lovely environment because the team of nurses and doctors was truly international and everyone had interesting stories to tell. It felt…

It has been interesting visiting the Royal Free Hospital. It is a big 12 storey 1970s building that looms over the small but busy Hamstead Heath shopping…
Huge thanks to everyone who has helped at our holiday club this week. Shooting Stars was fab! Matt from Allstar Dance Production was very patient and is a great example to the kids. We made some awesome things, and once again the volunteers were tremendous. A huge pat on the back to you all…
Anne continues to improve and is slowly working through post op issues like low blood pressure and her leg swelling, nothing unduly serious. She has a magnificent panorama of central London from her 7th floor window and is having a good time talking to her fellow inmates! She thanks everyone for their prayers and support…
