I love hearing my dad, Victor Ruskin, talk about his time in the Merchant Navy. This is the ship that he trained on. My grandfather, also Victor Ruskin, served in WWII, and he was at Dunkirk. My shop is named for them. #MerchantNavyDay ❤️

Every time I look at this I get angry. Six months after John died somebody came into the garden at night & made a hell of mess dragging this cast iron bench,leaving a scaffolding pole & a pair of bolt cutters on the path.I guess whoever it was knew that I’d be on my own.

Had an amazing day talking to year 5 & 6 kids about disability for @phab_charity . So many questions that I hope let them understand that 1 it's okay to be different 2 that things can done different ways & 3 they can all play a part in that change. A very good day.

Get me. I'm having an amazing couple of weeks & today another wonderful thing happened, I've been shortlisted for the @ShawTrust #DisabilityPower100 because of my work with @phab_charity . Chuffed.

Huge congratulations to the amazing Chris on a lifetime of lifesaving! He's been keeping Bournemouth beachgoers safe for almost 60 years... and now he's a record-breaker 👏

See how happy he looks to be back ⁦@DreamlandMarg⁩

Aww thank you for for sharing these Carol. Precious memories that we will treasure forever. 🥹💕

This is how much life I’ve lived… but I can honestly say that I’ve worked, loved, given, shared, laughed, prayed, hoped, helped, healed, lost, cried, celebrated, and enjoyed this life more than ten times this amount of years.    My aunt Thelma used to say “wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now”.     As I celebrate 54 years on this planet I can honestly say I wouldn’t change a thing. All the pain, all the hurt, all the disappointments, all the lost, all the loneliness, they all had an opposite, and today I am living in that opposite.   My prayer for you today is, if you’re in a low place, please don’t stop till you see your opposite.  God bless you.

Hope you all had a wonderful day. 💕
