Listening to radio 4 when I woke up and hearing the experience of a wife and mother of two children in their teens who’s previously healthy husband’s life is in the balance as he lies in intensive care on a ventilator....

I was feeling quite fed-up and my husband and son seem to be in similar mood today too. It is so easy to just keep going, perhaps having a coffee to perk up and to hardly even be aware that I am avoiding how I feel....

Autumn is usually what I think of as my favourite season but right now this Spring seems unbelievably beautiful. The vivid greens of new growth, the white blossom, the birdsong and pure white new-born lambs....
