Look what our human's friend Rachel Edwards gave her this morning - a fabulous drawing of my Robert. For one moment I thought he had come back to me and I had to check by sniffing it. Our human's husband thought it was a photo. Thank you Rachel, we love it so much.

11yrs ago to the day our Loving, Vibrant, Awesome son Benjamin played a Schoolboy game of Rugby. Tragically it would be his last. Could I ask you to remember him and post “If In Doubt, Sit Them Out in memory of Benjamin Robinson” Help shine a light on our darkest day. 🙏

Son's U9 game just got cancelled because of a lack of Refs. Shrug from me. Coach miffed. My comment of "maybe some of your U18 players should sign up to referee?" got received with a chuckle...as we packed up stuff. Parents: 1) stop screaming, & 2) have your teen sign up to ref.

Although us musicians, singers, actors, etc are delighted to be allowed to rehearse and perform again please don't spoil the joy by thanking Oliver Dowden. He's done nothing the support culture/arts and deserves no credit whatever.
