Needed, desperately, to empty my brain tonight.
I might actually sleep for once.

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.
When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.

I’ve signed this letter calling on the Government to act urgently and decisively. This is about giving people dignity in their final months – and for many, a fighting chance to live longer.
