I've been in medicine for half a century. I've delivered babies, treated cervical cancer and helped thousands of women. I won't be lectured to on what a woman is and whether or not we can say the word. Especially from people with such an awful understanding of biology.

Simplicity has become so elusive and desirable because the modern age is so troublingly, infinitely noisy and abundant. We crave simplicity not because we are simple, but because we are drowning in complexity.

It is London 1915: War rages across Europe and beyond and many fathers lie in corners of some foreign field... But in the heart of a child, the halls still need decking with boughs of holly & mistletoe
