My heart is heavy today with the very sad loss of Lord Jim Wallace. I had the privilege of interviewing Jim during the global pandemic for the #edinburghinterfaithassociation series entitled Faithful Fridays. Here is the interview that featured this wise and good man.

Today was my final
morning as a dancing Christmas Tree at Cancer Research U.K. before the Festive Season break. I raised £99.92. I also boarded a few buses, one driver accidentally drove off with me still on board! One man gave me a tenner and said “I have recovered from Cancer. Thank you!”
