It is with sadness and anger that I’ve had to remove the EU & rest of the world from the postage options on my website. With customs charges and orders returned without explanation, the damage that #brexit has done to my small business is unforgivable. #BrexitReality

A year ago today Pete came to live with us. He’d ended up at a cat rescue because his previous owners said he was a “shit cat”. He’s the gentlest, sweetest boy and and me and @MJowen174 couldn’t love him more. ❤️ #Caturday

I’ve never seen anything like the A&E at the Royal Blackburn. Corridors full of people on trolleys. It was like the seventh circle of hell. My Dad has been on a trolley for 30 hours. He doesn’t even get proper food. A trolley comes round with pre packed sandwiches. Horrendous.
