Had a very scary text on my phone when i finished work at 7 from my boyfriend Mark's friend saying Mark had had a serious accident on his bike. He had fallen off and hit a tree stump. I rushed to Scarborough hospital and they told me he had a shattered spleen and kidney and they were going to transfer him to york to try to block the internal bleeding but if they couldn't it would be life saving surgery. They took us in ambulance to York where i had to wait about 2 hours to find out what was happening, then the nurse came and told me his organs were too damaged to save and they were going to have to do emergency surgery and remove them both. They let me see him for a m…

On breakfast this morning was lady who's 23month old son had tragically died in a garden pond. Her name is Lucy herd and she is campaigning for legislation to increase bereavement entitlement from work. As it stands you can have 3 days off work 1 of which includes the funeral. 3 days to get over the loss of your child. Disgusted isn't the word.

So I decided recently that I wanted to take up a hobby & a sport, something to increase my fitness and get me out and about. Mountain biking was the top choice for me and my brother rather fancied it too. We started off with a few cross country rides (10 miles ish) which were all good and well but lacked that 'excitement' So we started going to trail centres at various locations, so far we have been to Cannock Chase Trails, Forest of Dean Trails and Swinley Forest Tails. These are absolutely brilliant fun and a great way to exercise. The trails are usually 10-14 miles in length and consist of uphill, downhill and twisty sections through the forest. Due to them…

My train would have travelled through the GTA - this is way too close to home for comfort!!!

So here around where I live we knew this lady who had a purebred dog (can't think of the breed) and even had the papers for him. His name was Clancy and he was let out everyday in his yard and when the lady left for work she would bring Clancy back in. The yard was big and fenced in. Well one day after she let him out and went to bring him back out, he was gone, the fence door was open. So she was very worried and she was almost due with her first child, so she put out all kinds of signs and posters saying her dog was lost. Her dog was NOT microchipped, and one day her friend came over so they could go walking. About 5 blocks away the lady saw a dog that looked like her C…

Looks like we have terrorists at it again in Boston. 2 explosions at the finish line at the Boston marathon, one also gone off at JFK Library and another disarmed. All mobile/cell networks closed down incase this is how they are being triggered. Total no fly zone over boston. New York is now on high alert, as is security for the London Marathon. Not good.
