Before my mum passed away, she gave my dad strict instructions to water the plants in the bathroom. He's been religiously watering them & keeping them alive. They look so amazing he decided to take them to his new home, only to discover they are plastic! Can hear my mum chuckling

Best bath I've ever had was on a boat in Ha Long Bay in Vietnam.
Just look at that view 😍

Lee Green's pump ladder pulls up in front of where I'm parked.
OIC walks over and immediately recognises me
My hair can be spotted a mile off
Definitely not cut out to be an undercover cop

I realise that I am healing and I am so happy for myself.
What would have been a traumatic anniversary yesterday filled with angst and unwanted memories turned out to be a very peaceful day for me.
I love this for me 💖

15 years ago today I started as a firefighter, one month before my 40th birthday
This is a photo of me at Southwark training centre, now knocked down & converted to luxury apartments
Like that beloved training school, I too was destroyed & have rebuilt myself as someone else

The Oxford Canal is among the earliest of cuts in the canal age
Designed by James Brindley using a contour method which meant earthworks were minimised & the canal could pass many villages along the route
Opened in 1774 bringing coal from Coventry coalfields to Oxford & London

An elderly woman on the narrowboat behind us has just fallen into the canal. Her husband called out for us to help him and we rushed over to pull her out of the water.
Cups of tea all round

They've just pulled up alongside us and given us some Danish beers to say thank you for helping them get through 11 locks
She is up and about and looking a lot better
