I am so sorry to hear this. My best wishes

I’m so sorry to read this. My best wishes to you and your dad. Stay strong.

One of the delights of visiting Corsica in the summer is to see wild boar owning the roads at dusk. Sadly they’re not to be found in the UK.

Parakeets come for free in North London.

Same here. Diagnosed with essential tremor by GP, but fortunately my hypochondria propelled me to see a neurologist. Took him all of 10 minutes to spot Parkinson’s.
