“Such an extraordinary amount of solid, good work is done on a voluntary basis. Here, ordinary people have just risen up and been able to associate and educate, care for the poor and sick, stop people committing suicide, teach people to read, launch lifeboats.”

Jo Glanville reflects on what #dementia does to the brain, and how #literature might reach beyond it.
"‘It was like an electric current had gone round the room,’ she says. ‘An incredible thing had happened'"

Twitter diary very behind now after a three day migraine as I travelled from Portugal to Lyon, France to meet up with my 4 pals including @willowsh. Will attempt to remember the last 5/6 days and record some of it – at Nasbinals, France

The team descending from St Privat d'Allier. Note that @willowsh has one of her trouser legs removed having earlier peed on it - the skill women need to pee outdoors is considerable

In less than two years I've gone from sleeping in shop doorways and eating out of bins whilst off my head on crack and heroin to having a roof over my head, being clean of all drugs including alcohol, volunteering at my local animal sanctuary and feeling like I have a purpose.

We’re remembering ‘Ted’, Edward Kelsey, who died peacefully yesterday. Ted played Joe Grundy for 34 years and was a much-loved and respected member of our Ambridge family.

Delighted to have won my High Court case against The Sun.
Their slur attempting to link me to “Nazi symbols" was held to be false and defamatory.
The Judge ordered The Sun to pay £30,000 in damages.
With that I'll fund a paid justice internship for a young person from Leeds.

Can people in their 60s stop saying "We'll just take the hit" on Brexit.
YOU WON'T BE THE ONES TAKING THE HIT.
Your careers are either already established or finished.
Some of us are are trying to get started. Some of us will have to support families in Brexit economy!

Looking forward to it. X

Thinking of October in February is
C-R-A-Z-Y!
(But you wouldn’t expect anything less from me 😂)
This being ‘uber organised’ is all due to the lovely @Beanabones . She always kindly administers Facebook for me for the Ball
Pop over & give it a like x💗

Very disturbing attempt by Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 to bully amazingly calm Irishman into accepting responsibility for Brexit mess. It seems the BBC norm recently to attempt to undermine the position of calm reasoned logic. Sad times.

We're going to be in @ShrewslibraryUK tomorrow afternoon. Come and say hello. #volunteering #Shropshire #Volunteer Please Retweet 😀Thank you

John Humphrys @BBCr4today has just realised that you can’t leave the EU and have an open border in NI. He’s expecting Ireland to address this.. He’s now even suggesting Ireland could leave with UK to fix the problem. What a Brexit-crazed broadcaster!
