The printed copy of the book has room to write your own thoughts about MS. The book also has a page of MS facts.

🖼️ "When I paint, I feel I can breathe."

Artist Linda Hoskins was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS 13 years ago, while pregnant with her first son. This past year she chose to speak more openly about the reality of living with the condition.

In her new blog, Linda shares how art helps her live with MS, why she decided to be more open about her diagnosis, and how she's learned to slow down and focus on the things within her control.

Thank crunchie it’s Friday…
Digger has been loving life.

For weeks on end, his role has been:

1. Plenty of snoozing in the sun
2. Plenty of snoozing on the sofa
3. Getting a piece of everyone’s ice lolly
4. Loving a bit of cucumber, every lunch time (hydration purposes)
5. Most importantly, rolling in the dry grass….every couple of hours….looking like this and running indoors to SHAKE-IT-OFF a.k.a. Taylor Swift!!

For weeks on end, my role has been:
1. Trying to pick all the bits off and get them in the bin before he shakes-it-off indoors!
2. Hoovering-hoovering-and HOOVERING!
3. Always having to share my ice lolly with him

Digger & I have discussed this, to some extent but we’ve not yet decided whether to concrete the whole back garden or to change his name to Stig-of-the-Dump
