I may be the last person who has seen the Action for Children – Nicola’s Story advert, but I was alerted to it on facebook today. It seems some people have been a bit upset by it, saying that it portrays MS in a very scary way. I am not sure exactly what I think of it. MS is so different from person to person and the mother mentioned in this advert is of course someone who has it really bad. See for yourself. (more…)

When I woke up on Monday, my husband looked out of the window and went “Oh, snow”. He commutes into London, so snow equals delayed trains and not much fun at all. As for me, I was a bit annoyed. I had been hoping for a white Christmas, not a white day for my first time back at work after ten lovely days off. Once I got down to the kitchen and saw the snow outside the window, I decided it was time to dig out my hiking boots.
