A really bad 10 yr anniversary. My beautiful, brave and always POSITIVE daughter Kirsty Stewart was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 32. Today, despite just getting over a really bad chest infection she ran the Manchester 10k . So proud! Sarah Coles Alex Tilbury

Another interesting wheelchair design from Woodley Primary School Brilliantly drawn food & drink (inc KFC) & a rolling toilet. And the whole thing is on water with a glass bottom so I can watch the fish. Not forgetting the beer and doughnuts of course! Spinal Injuries Association Back Up

Woke up at 3am having a NIGHTMARE! Tagged Robert Rosen in a post. Saw messages flooding my way to tell me about my stupid error. Didn’t read them because I’d already realised. So I sent an apology to… Richard Rosen. 😱 Sorry Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓

Looking forward to my visit to Woodley Primary School in the morning. Going to have a great day. 50 books ordered so far and probably a few more tomorrow. Just hope I don’t get too wet in the rain between the house and the Grandadmobile!
