Big Stir

This morning I opened Henbury's Macmillan 'Big Stir' coffee morning. I cut the ribbon in a dismal drizzle, but here we all are, recovering with a good cuppa coffee and a large slice of chocolate cake. Well done and thank you to the organisers - particularly Carol Lye and Cynthia Reynolds.

I think we have nearly all experienced of the work of Macmillan nurses, directly or indirectly through friends or family. They cared for my gran through her last days. And around 700 of these events were held in the South West alone, today. That's a lot of caffeine.

After I left the Henbury coffee morning I admit I dropped into Southmead hospital's Big Stir for another caffeine kick on my way to UWE Freshers Fair.
