My favourite photograph, and the last time I saw Tom. He flew over to see me on Mothers Day , he had not done that before.. We both sensed something was amiss but not sure what. His death was 7 years ago today, 6 weeks after this photo was taken . 🩷💙❤️

It’s such a comfort to sit in the cathedral and just allow myself to be. To be alone , and to be with Tom in my thoughts. Also just to be with this sun and the wonder of it all.

Christmas comes early for Homestart!
On behalf of Know Thyself Charitable Trust I hand over a giant cheque to Homestart for £5000 at the Carrol Centre.
This is for supporting young parents struggling to keep on an even keel says manager Liz Stannard… our charities share common aims and we are so grateful for this fabulous donation.
‘£5000 means we are able to support 5 families with volunteer support for up to 12 months in the coming year ‘she said.

Butterflies and berries.., such focus and concentration from my artists. Touching for me as I caught these butterflies with my father in the Malayan jungles. This was okay in 1959. So lovely to share them now.

Six years on, I still find myself returning to something Tom wrote six months before he died - an extraordinary piece of writing that chills me every time.
He even played me a recording from his numerologist, who said he would go “to the highest of the high” in seven months and that I would carry on his work. I told him she was wrong, that I couldn’t do it, and yet that is what happened.
Tom had set up a company called Know Thyself to help others. A week later he drowned, and I turned that company into a charity. He prepared me in small ways I only now understand: introducing me to his friends, leaving his thoughts and music, asking for a sign we never made. He’s sent me wonderful dreams since. I’ll tell you more another time.
