Born to be wild

I love my dog

When my cat LouLou died in the summer I reflected on the benefits of cat ownership for people with Parkinson’s. Dogs, too, can be great assets in your support team, improving mental and physical health.

One day like this

For two glorious weeks in the summer of 2012, I saw the world at its best in the safe, clean and joyous place that was London’s Olympic Park.
