A few words from one of my favourite authors "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending"

Remembering those who died and those who continue to live with the legacy of the dreadful events of that day. 7/7 #London

Happy 77th Birthday to our amazing NHS. Founded by Nye Bevan in Manchester, we have so much to be grateful for. Thank you for the care you have given to my family and friends. Thank you for the care you have given me in recent months. I can never say Thank You enough 🙏

Happy 4th of July to my American friends and connections. My ancestors travelled to your country, on The Mayflower and through the centuries, in search of a better life, tolerance of differences and opportunity. May you always aspire to be a beacon to the world for all that is good in humankind.

I was named and then confirmed for the two great Apostles of The Church whose Feast we celebrate today - Saints Peter and Paul. They suffered and died for their Faith. I pray that I will always be inspired by their example to speak the truth with kindness and clarity.

Today is #ArmedForcesDay when we pay tribute to all past and present members of our Armed Forces who, in so many different roles and ways, keep us safe, protect our country and dedicate their lives to our service. Thank You!

It's from a couple of years ago but this TV advertisement from @samaritans.bsky.social is so powerful. #YouAreNotAlone www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX8T...

In Armed Forces Week let's take the opportunity to say Thank You to all those who serve. We remember those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. Let's also remember the partners & families of our service personnel who carry on at home knowing the work that is done.

Remembering Mum on her birthday. Always in my thoughts and prayers. So deeply loved and missed so very much. May her soul and the souls of all the Faithful Departed Rest in Peace and may Light Perpetual shine upon her O Lord. Love you Mum. ❤️❤️

My almost constant companion since I came out of hospital. She is such a sweet natured and loving little thing. She has been wonderful but Mabel never poses for the camera 🤣

Eight years on and still miss our little man Charlie. When we got him from the Rescue Home he had been abused and was the most scared little soul. With immense patience and much love he turned into a contented little soul, always a bit scared but so loving.

A reminder from @catsprotection.bsky.social that today is Mature Moggies Day with a particular focus on adopting older cats who often have to wait so much longer for their forever home. www.cats.org.uk/support-us/o...

Wishing all Dads a Happy Fathers Day! Remembering those who are no longer with us. They are always remembered, deeply loved and missed so much. Love you Dad ❤️

“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”

Truly devastating and heart-breaking news from India. My thoughts are with all those involved and those awaiting news about their relatives and friends.

Remembering my younger brother Michael on his birthday. In my thoughts and prayers. Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord. May his soul and the souls of all the Faithful Departed Rest in Peace and may Light Perpetual shine upon him.

Today on the 81st anniversary we remember D-Day which was the largest seaborne invasion in history. D-Day was an international effort with our troops fighting alongside those from many other countries. #D-DayAnniversary

A reminder of the campaign from @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social that runs throughout June - the Forget Me Not - Together we can beat #Dementia www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-involved...

I think we all need to make the effort to appreciate the little good things, even in difficult times. I love @actionhappiness.bsky.social Monthly Calendars and save the image as my screensaver to help me focus on the activity for each day. Here's the image if you want to engage with #JoyfulJune

"I will be with you always, even until the end of the world" Today is the Feast of The Ascension of Our Lord and Saviour into Heaven He is with us always in the darkest of times, walking with us when we feel we can walk no further. I have certainly felt His enduring presence in my life of late.

Interesting item from @catsprotection.bsky.social I was worried that after being in hospital for 7 weeks Mabel would have forgotten me. I was reassured when she came to me within minutes of my return www.cats.org.uk/cats-blog/do...

Having been brought up around Farms and Horses it would never occur to me to not slow down when passing/encountering a horse. If that is something that you are not aware then this information from The British Horse Society might help www.bhs.org.uk/support-us/o... #DeadSlowForHorses

Thank you on International Nurses Day to all those who care for us when we are most in need ❤️ This year I have experienced first hand the extent of the care that Nurses provide. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for me and all that you continue to do. #IND2025

Happy Mother's Day to all those who celebrate it today. Mothers are so precious whether they are still with us or not. Always remember Mum who is forever in my prayers and so deeply loved always. #MothersDay2025

Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; habemus Papam! Deo Gratias. I announce to you a great joy; we have a Pope! Thanks be to God. #HabemusPapam

We Will Remember Them. All Gave Some. Some Gave All. #LestWeForget #VEDay80

As the commemorations of VE Day begin we remember those from our own families. Those who served in uniform, those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, those who endured long dark days at home, and all who did so much for one another and for us. We will always remember. #VEDay80

As the Cardinal-Electors contemplate their participation in the Conclave I pray that they will be guided by The Holy Spirit. Let us pray that the Creator Spirit will move them to make a wise choice. Veni Creator Spiritus #SedeVacante #Conclave www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GrQ...

One of Mum's favourite Hymns to the Blessed Virgin Mary - Bring Flowers of the Rarest. ❤️ In this Month of May dedicated to The Blessed Virgin let us unite to ask her to intercede for our troubled world. Most Blessed Virgin Mary pray for us now and always. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld4F...

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen. Eternal rest grant unto Francis, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. #PapalFuneral

Truly heartbroken to hear that The Holy Father Pope Francis has died this morning in Rome. May Choirs of Angels come to greet him and lead into the presence of God. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace and may Light Perpetual shine upon him. #SedeVacante

Christus Resurrexit Est! Vere Resurrexit Est! Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ Is Risen! He Is Truly Risen! Alleluia! Alleluia! Death is Conquered! He Is Risen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhVJ...

Good Afternoon This is a very personal update. It's been a while! I apologise for my absence however I have been in hospital for some 7 weeks and am now approaching the end of my first week out. 1/4

A single act of kindness can ripple far beyond what we can see, touching lives we may never know. 🧡 #kindness #compassion (Print by Space Oddity)

On this Feast of Epiphany when Christ is first revealed to the World as God we remember the Three Wise Men bearing gifts. Today the greatest gifts we can give to the world are to Do Good for each other and Be Kind to one another. #BeKind

As well as being #NewYearsDay 1st January is also the Feast of Mary Mother of God. My parents were devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary, as am I. It's to her we turn to intercede for us as Mother of us all. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Good morning all 😊 I wish everyone the very best for the year ahead with a fervent hope that it will be a better year for us all. #HappyNewYear

Good morning all 😊 I hope that you are doing well? I am still struggling with my back, but as we have planned a relaxed New Year's Eve with some nice food, I am not planning on exerting myself! Whatever you are doing today, take the time for yourself that you need ✨️

Sad news. May Choirs of Angels come to greet him and lead him into The Light Perpetual. Thoughts with his family and all who loved him and were loved by him. May he Rest in Peace. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/29/jimmy-carter-dead-longest-lived-us-president?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Really thoughtful present, and I am looking forward to the 31-day #Mindfulness Challenge

Good morning all 😊 I hope that you are keeping well and if you are able to are taking time to rest, relax, and recharge. We are planning a relatively easy day other than having to pop out briefly by which time hopefully the fog may have lifted. Be kind to yourself and to all that you encounter ✨️

Happy St Stephen's Day! Stephen was the First Martyr stoned to death for doing the right thing. He was appointed by The Apostles to distribute food and charitable aid to poorer members of the community. Today, 2000 years later Foodbanks continue that work! #StStephensDay

A very Happy Christmas to all those in our essential and public services who are on duty today across the country and the world together with all those who volunteer! We value and appreciate all that you do for us and the sacrifices you make to keep us safe/ #ChristmasDay
