A year ago I was preparing for surgery to remove the metalwork from my shinbone, which broke after a knee operation. This year, I completed the @LondonMarathon which I thought I would never do. I said it would be a one-off - but now I’m not so sure!
Thank you London 🫶❤️🇬🇧

Marion is now 13; James is now 9. Some recent pictures are attached below.
We did an interview looking back on the blooper for @InsideEdition, which should be up shortly.

I've been at South East Water HQ since the very early hours of this morning looking to speak to the CEO Dave Hinton.
So far no signs of him.
No replies to requests for an interview
Instead his comms team tell me there will be no comment just "our focus is on restoring water"
