Looking forward to much more.

I did giggle, some very descriptive views and observations that I can’t dispute. X

I'll try and keep the giggling coming. I know I'm not going to be able to stop you disputing observations.

A nice antidote to the tiresome Branson and Clarkson 'no O levels never held me back' stories that always surface in August. Somehow B and C always forget to mention that their Care Homes were Stowe and Repton. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Geoff. Thanks so much. I agree. I really hate that attitude because it gaslights the systemic issues that affect everyone else. I’m aware I’ve gone on to have a mind blowing journey, despite coming from children’s homes. And I would hate my story to be used as a way to show that the care system works.
