Today we climbed closer to the sky! There were times when we could have given up but we just put one foot in front of the other. We did it for Harry!

You were tiny, like a little bird. Precious child. Born at 10.38am. A baby boy. The sun was shining. Jack Johnson on Cd “Better Together” What a beautiful day that was. We miss you with all our hearts.
Fourteen today but in our hearts forever five. Happy Birthday 🧡☀️🗝
Happy 17th Birthday Hal. We think about you every day with love in our hearts, socks worn odd and smiles on our faces. You were here. You’re still here, you’re everywhere that we are. You will never be forgotten.

Today we should be celebrating Harry’s 13th birthday. He should be a teenager. His brother should be celebrating with him and my house should be filled with the noise of two boys playing...and fighting. My heart aches to think of what should be.

So the incredible NHS delivered my husband back to me early yesterday after being told he would stay in overnight having had a much needed operation. He feels a little sore & tired. He’s ok. I’m so grateful to have him home. Thank you to all the kind staff at

11 years ago on this day it started very normal yet by the end of it my world had turned upside down. None of us know what a day can bring. Make today a good one and tell those you love how much. Thank you for helping us get through this day by wearing

in ‘The Oystercatchers’ 2000. We met on this show. We’re married 20 years this June. ♥️
Just thought I’d pour myself a very large glass of red wine. After all I deserve it....Tasted lovely, very fruity, full bodied I thought. Finished the lot...quicker than normal. Just looked at the bottle. It’s a bottle of port!

Devastated for everyone involved in Theatre/Pantomimes in Wales right now. Such hard work goes into making these shows. It’s just heartbreaking for everyone. 😔 Please be kind to those having to deal with the fallout.
We re off!! Touch and go whether

55 years ago today at 9.15am tradgedy stuck South Wales. 144 lives were lost, 28 adults & 116 children from Pant Glas Junior School, Aberfan when Tip no. 7 slipped and hit the school and the village. A mining disaster that should never have happened.
We will never forget you. ♥️
It’s him in doors birthday today! He who makes me laugh more than anyone I know. He who is loved by lots and has a heart as big as a bus. It’s his birthday! Show him some love!

Two cesarean sections, delivery of two perfect babies, appendix taken out, broken nose, fingers, toe. Mammograms. Smear tests. Chilli in my eyes, glass in my toe. But most importantly desperately trying to save our little boy. You did all you could. Thank you NHS.

Helen Griffin had such an influence on my early days as an actress. She gave me my first professional job in her play “Flesh and blood”. She was a fierce, strong and talented woman. You will be missed my lovely friend 💕😔xx
I am incredibly emotional atm and am finding that I cry the most when I see the sheer kindness of people. I think the reason that I cry at kindness is that it restores my faith in the human race and it also just makes me wish that more people would be kind to others.
#BeKind
2 days after Harry died 4 men from our village also died tragically in The Gleision Mining Disaster. It was an awful week for our village. My thoughts are with their families today.

My lovely 95 year old neighbour Arwyn Llewellyn passed away last night. I am heartbroken. I adored him, we talked rugby, politics, gardening and I loved reminiscing about his past and all his exploits. He’s was an interesting man. I will miss him with all my heart.

Recently I was diagnosed with Skin Cancer. I’ve had an operation to remove it and after a bit of a wait I’ve had the results back that it’s gone. No further treatment. The relief is huge…please, please check your moles!

I came through that same Youth Arts infrastructure as
@michaelsheen
and was supported by our local government. Our youth today certainly don’t have those same opportunities because the arts are not correctly supported or funded. It’s not fair, it’s not right. It needs to change.
“It’s just not fair that certain people... get certain kinds of opportunities and other people don’t.”
Actor Michael Sheen tells
@jonsnowc4
why he’s started a creative arts scheme for people from working class and under-represented communities.
Please tell your friends, your schools, your clubs, your cast to wear their “Odd Socks for Harry” this Thursday 13thSept! Please use our # when posting! Let’s make it go viral this year!

I can’t figure out what to do with myself...so much to do and yet nothing getting done! Can’t motivate or concentrate or invigorate or do anything ending in ate.....I have just ate..so that is one tick I suppose but...the rest is all....what was I talking about?
