Why, thank you. How very beautiful, both sentiments & photos. In return, I send out warmest wishes as long awaited springtime adventures begin following winter’s lull. Exploration, tea & cake now no doubt firmly back on agenda…
Why, thank you! Such a beautiful collection. Truly, a balm for the soul.
🎉 Dechreuodd Dewis Choice gyda chenhadaeth glir: trawsnewid y ffordd y mae pobl hŷn sy'n profi cam-drin domestig yn cael eu gweld, eu clywed a'u cefnogi. Mae'r genhadaeth honno'n gryfach nag erioed.
🎥 Gwyliwch ein ffilm newydd i glywed ein stori a dathlu ein heffaith dros 10 blynedd! Diolch pawb!
🎉 In 2015, Dewis Choice began with a clear mission: to transform the way older people experiencing domestic abuse are seen, heard, and supported. Ten years on, that mission is stronger than ever.
🎥 Watch our new film to hear our story and see how far we’ve come together. Thank you everyone 💜
So very saddened to learn of the death of Professor Newman who I’ve learnt so much from over the years. What a font of knowledge, his passion and expertise always shared with both humility & humour. May he rest in eternal peace.
Oh my! Recent diagnosis cruelly translates into my being forbidden the usual mountain of pancakes syrup, jam & honey. So, how about you enjoying an extra one on me. Go on, be a devil 😋
Thanks & appreciation for your thoughtfulness 🙏🏻

Likewise in return, dear Gaz. Thanks for all you are and all you do 🙏
Shall look forward to this. It’ll no doubt be so very beautiful. And ditto, kindest wishes sent your way 🍂
Lifts the spirits. Absolutely glorious!
That little gem is now in very good hands. Have followed/supported @friendlesschurches work over a number of years. A truly fabulous organisation.
Such beautiful images & sentiments. Your thoughtfulness, as ever, much appreciated 🙏

Heartfelt thanks & appreciation for your thoughtfulness, Gaz. And my, what a beautiful clip! Truly, a welcome balm for this soul. Sending warmest wishes your way 🍃 J
Wow! This is appalling. 2 years worth of extensive evidence ‘lost’ in our case, resulting in colossal detriment. Judge personally apologised, saying the court system had failed us, but offered no explanation. Now this!
Beautiful. Thank you for keeping me in thought, Gaz. Nature is indeed a miracle, a provider of comfort and so much more. Seeking solace in the rain this morning, welcoming the gentleness of its message
Thank you from the heart 🥀
I have little presence here but would like to thank those who have kindly made contact over the past 3 days following the death of my precious little sister, Mary. She meant the world to me. My heart is broken.
