A second mention of our beloved wall in Parliament today shows an understanding that the wall is an ongoing thing, a living memorial to our beloved dead. ❤️

Our fundraiser Jo has raised nearly a thousand pounds! She successfully finished the half-marathon and paid a visit to the wall afterwards. We're so proud of her - and so grateful. ♥️

One of our amazing supporters is running the London Royal Parks Half Marathon on 12th October. Jo lost her mum to covid and has decided to run this event and donate her fundraising to us. ♥️

We are in awe and incredibly grateful for the support! 🏃🏻‍♀️

After two weeks away, the volunteers were very glad to be back at the wall. And equally glad to see that the council are clearing the leaves! 🍂♥️

If you're going to volunteer at the memorial wall, you definitely need good nibs. ♥️

Hard to believe it was three years ago today that we had the first preliminary hearing for module 1 of the UK covid inquiry. I attended online and kept Vince with me.

Still no justice. ♥️

I've been listening to podcasts about fiction writing, and it is both fascinating and alarming that one piece of prevailing advice being given to authors of fiction is to avoid mentioning Covid.
