Dear All


Please forgive me for posting a message on a topic that is not something that many people want to think about, but this is a subject close to my heart and a charity that I support. It's also a subject that all women should be aware of so please do take a few minutes to have a read and look at The Eve Appeal website.


'The Eve Appeal is launching September as Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month and encouraging women all over the country to get talking and be aware of the signs and symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers. The earlier a cancer is detected, the higher a woman's chance of survival. The Eve Appeal want to encourage women to get to know their bodies and be aware of what to look out for. See [the website] for the signs and symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers and share this vital information with all of the women in your life.'


As I mentioned above, this is a very personal subject for me. My mother died from Ovarian cancer in May 2010 when I was 4 months pregnant with my son. She was only diagnosed 3 months beforehand despite having regular check-ups with her doctor in the preceding years. This type of cancer can be very difficult to detect but organisations like The Eve Appeal (and others such as Ovacome) are working hard to raise awareness.


I'm not asking for you to donate or get involved. I just would not wish what my family went through on anyone, so please - make yourself and others aware of the symptoms.



Thanks for reading,

BF

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
