A decade ago, I stopped writing and started editing.
But sometimes - too occasionally - I write something, and remember how much I love it.

I was 9 when a GP risked jail to help mum die. The law must change

It's like going to a Michelin-starred restaurant, eating three courses and leaving without a bill to pay.
Enjoy!
