 15 years ago, my mother died from pancreatic cancer. It was sudden and it was fast. Pancreatic cancer is known as a silent killer because people die from it so quickly after diagnosis and are unaware of it prior to that. It is a shock. There’s no time to get used to the idea that your loved one is dying, No time to process their illness let alone their death. And they themselves also have no time to process the illness, Let alone their demise. That it is terminal. Both and those close to them experience this. I have been inspired by the other walkers in this months 60 miles Walking to raise funds for research for an earlier diagnosis. I have read their stories and cried with and for them. What I have realised is that pancreatic cancer is not a silent killer at all. It is simply not being heard.  Mum knew something was wrong. A year before her diagnosis, she had a laparoscopy. Nothing was found. Months before her diagnosis, She turned yellow and went to her doctor. He made her...

  In the UK, a dog can be ordered to be destroyed if it is deemed dangerously out of control and causes reasonable apprehension of injury, even without actual injury occurring.  This is outlined in the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, specifically under Section 3, and the owner can face severe penalties, including potential destruction of the dog and a prison sentence.   Here's a more detailed explanation: 1. The Concept of "Reasonable Apprehension": A dog is considered dangerously out of control if it causes a person to reasonably fear they might be injured, even if no physical harm is actually inflicted. This fear must be reasonable, meaning a normal person in the same situation would likely feel the same apprehension. The law doesn't require proof of criminal intent or recklessness on the owner's part.   2. Legal Framework: Dangerous Dogs Act 1991: This act is the primary legislation dealing with dangerous dogs.   Section 3: This section focuses on dogs dangerously o...

 Dave: Mum had just moved up to live near me. I was a single mum with a newborn as the father had left before the birth. I had no choice, but to go back to full-time work and put the baby into a nursery at 13 weeks. Mum had plans to take on part of the childcare. But mum’s skin had turned yellow and she’d been to the Doctor. He suspected gallstones so she was awaiting an appointment at the hospital. She had a very supportive friend in Dave. He drove two hours each way to help mum move into her new house, And spent a day caring for my baby while I started work again. Then Dave’s dad fell gravely ill. Dave‘s dad had a stroke in the hospital, And Mum‘s consultant gave us the shock prognosis of eight weeks. We wished ardently we could put them both in the same hospital as Dave split his time between work, his dad and my mum and I split mine between full-time work, my mum and my baby. We buried Dave’s dad on November 31. Mum died December 14.

 Best things come in small packages. But is something that Irene always said to. Herself. Irene stood 4 foot 11 the same height as her sister. The best things come into all packages was always said with a playful glint in her eye. Her sister would go on to marry a tall hunk towering over her for 5 foot 1. Irene, never did marry. But she does meet the love of her life. Irene was not unhappy to leave the family home as her mother was now long dead and her father was absorbed by his new family. She stepped out into the cooler with her few belongings and commenced a porn, her journey to her new employment and the start of her next phase in life. A new king and the funeral of the old king that they had listened to sitting around the radio, All suggested a new phase in life. Having said goodbyes are in walks alone to Becontree tube station. It has recently been rebuilt and renamed to match the new housing estate so it’s one of the nicer tube stations and it’s really close to home. A Rich...
