Young in spirit Grandma, lover of music and sport. Gradually migrating further north with each house move. Socialist, ex Lab voter, hoping for a better future!
A few years ago I ended up moving to an area where I knew no one. My wonderful dad said “you will bloom wherever you are planted.” He always was my biggest champion. I found this board and today have baked a perfect loaf. Missing you dad ❤️

I can’t even begin to describe how delicious this week’s loaf of bread is. It still amazes me that this is just flour and water!

Canterbury Food Bank is where I volunteer, and when I said demand had increased this year a load of Labour loyalists piled on me.
⚡️ Shocking! Canterbury Food Bank now feeds nearly 5% of the entire local population.
📈 Demand up 15% year on year
🍽️ 1,700 meals in a single day — what used to take a month
👩🏭 Many users are in work
Before austerity and Brexit food banks hardly existed! This is a political choice, not an accident.

I am fortunate to live next to a river. On a wet year it floods which isn’t so good but on days like today I get to see otters before I go to work. They are just so joyous but very fast!

Fuck off Kate. You have a nanny for grown children, cleaners, don't have a job, assistant, personal hairdressers, and are loaded.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.
