Today marks my 2 year stroke anniversary, to celebrate we are off to Venice


My last day working for Lancashire Fire and Rescue. It’s been a very humbling day with so many people saying such nice things. I can only say thank you to you all, you have made 30 years fly by and so enjoyable.

Today we remember the 56 football fans who tragically lost their lives in the Bradford fire disaster 37 years ago. 54 Bradford City fans & 2 Lincoln City fans went to watch a football match! Gone but never forgotten #RIP56

So glad to be back at work. Who knew emails could be so tiring. Fatigue is something I have to learn to deal with @TheStrokeAssoc


Time to celebrate my 50th with a short break to the Black Country, not quite Cape Verde but after the last month it’s just good to be away feeling like I’m getting back to normal @diffstrokes @StrokeAssocNW
