This probably affects many of us or has done, be it family or friends or ourselves. This is an interview from yesterday with a guy who has a terminal illness. I know Pete but not enough to call him a friend. Not that I wouldn't want to be, just our paths haven't crossed for some time. You might find his take on things worth listening to.

very emotional broadcast - I was in tears as the end. A very brave man.

St. Christopher's Hospice is a wonderful place - when you walk in you get this feeling of peace and laughter and light. The gardens are fantastic, the restaurant opened 7 days a week good and welcoming. My mother died here a few years ago and the care we all received was brilliant.

For my work I have attended a number of courses here, and am the End of Life Lead for my work

I can't speak for Pete. What I understood most about his interview in the latter part of it, was how much he appreciated the small things in life. They may seem small, but really he was describing 'life' and its beauty. We all once had this capacity but so many things get in the way and distract us from being content. I think we were born happy and life gets in the way, at least the life that appears to be important, even if it isn't.


Pete was a musician among other things and I found this on U Tube.....I never heard of the band but this video is interesting. He was the bass player though you can't tell on the video. The one with the short black hair.

    • I mean if its going on for a long time I would think just having a talk to them over coffee would help.seems like they are freehold owners if they've been living there for a long time so i would advise not reporting them to the police since you will be stuck with them for a long time to come
