I too have never heard of
Posted on Wed, 02 Nov 2022
I too have never heard of chemo curls. Went through a similar experience as you when I was younger. My hair is straight too. It was when a friend asked me to be a maid of honour at her wedding in about 1978. She wanted me to have permed hair so I...

Hi David,

Hi David,
The whole experience could have been much worse, that was why I wanted to record the episode in a diary entry, as the whole experience could easily be forgotten or not remembered right over time. We were very lucky, if we'd been...

This is such a fond elegy for someone passing. I too am sorry for your loss Paul.
These lines stood out to me so much:-
Night comes wearing its cloak

Hear! Hear! Rhiannon. These words are so important. We all need that special someone we can depend on, and know they can depend on us too.
It brings to mind when our fence blew down, instead of getting in someone professional, me and my...

Very much enjoyed reading Jane. It's amazing where new ideas for stories come from, but you seem to have the knack for creating situations, and this was marvellous, could actually see it being played out on the tv screen, but have to settle for...

Posted on Wed, 16 Feb 2022

What an amazing journey
Posted on Wed, 02 Feb 2022
