A raw, funny story of resilience, identity, and fierce maternal love after a terrifying life-changing event.

The Immortal Man #ThePeakyBilnders = not eternal life, but unstoppable survival.
That I get.
I owe my speech to @woodyallatt.
So in many ways, I owe my speaking career to my son.💕#mothersday

Listening to True Blue #Madonna and instantly transported to top 40 Sunday charts in 1986, with my fingers hovering over my record button on my Sharp boombox. Before I discovered The Smiths and The Cure !!
Happy, delirious, crazy, free spirited times !!🤣
This is podcast is essential viewing and listening for anyone affected by locked in syndrome.
My own horrific experience then and since with my learnings, with the wonderfully compassionate BBC interviewer, Victoria Derbyshire

This is my best podcast or interview to date.
Relaxed, stripped back. @vicderbyshire gives me space to be me.
The secret to motivation?
something really has to matter to you, then you try again and again. You fail many times but anything is possible.

My podcast has just landed. #unbelievablebritain #vicderbyshire
Not watched it yet myself so not sure how it was edited but as you know Still Mum will never be published now. A legal decision made since my appearance.
Wish I’d unbuttoned my jacket! 🙄
97% of people who start a book do not finish it. Idid.
Still Mum, will remain private after my death, reserved for my children and the small group of people who have supported me through life. It will be printed in a very limited run, simply as a way of sharing my story.

If you hate the lying, despot Trump as much as me, you have to listen to Gavin’s analysis.
Straight talking. Human.

Virginia was the catalyst!
Although, money/national trade secrets/misconduct in public office, over sexual abuse of young girls, was the reason the police finally acted.
A sad indictment of society’s values.
But Andrew Mountbatten ARRESTED!
Yes. Let justice be done
