Love that #Rollercoaster was the reason #KateKavanagh @BustingFree took a last minute to decision to come to @edfringe this year. We have a lot to thank the show for!

It was my daughter's 11th birthday today. We went bowling, followed by desserts with her 3 best friends. A reminder that this photo represents what the UK is like for her and her friends, despite what the haters may want you to believe. – at Bromley, London
