Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏

In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care.
Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

I really love Jack Gilbert's poems for their quietness. I wish there could be more future Jack Gilbert poems.

Did you know it is @PoetryDayUK on 3rd October?
No?
Then allow me to direct you to a flight of fanciful and extraordinary words, due to take off on that very day.
@TheDirigible is a free online poetry webzine for children.
Essential & excellent. 🎈
