I don't discuss my politics. But I wonder if many would argue against the one change I'd make. All leaders of countries should be women. Preferably mothers. I can't imagine many mothers would be prepared to allow the death of so many innocent people in the world through wars

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 'on this day 10 yrs ago' memory. Hiding mini wine in my bedside locker in Pinderfields. The nurses knew of course but Matron would have disapproved for sure! But hey, when you're in for a whole year you've got to get through somehow!

I've found a picture that kind of describes my condition. Both broken femurs sticking out the back of my bum! Just heard from pain specialist that there is nothing he can do for me, so got to continue living with the chronic pain 24/7. No sympathy required - just pi**ed off 😧

I don't do politics as I am just a cartoon character of course. But watching Sunak ask the Welsh audience of they were looking forward to watching the footy this summer was more cringeworthy than anything I ever saw in 'The Office' 😂😬

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

Hey SpecialEdHead FCCT Of course Barney didn't really steal Grandad's 'doughnut' gold medal awarded by Hannah Cockroft for winning a race with her. It's just a silly made up story isn't it. Or is it? 🤔Sarah Coles Alex Tilbury Hannah Cockroft OBE, DL

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!
