The fund-raising event that Jean-Christophe Novelli so very kindly helped to make happen was last night and I cannot put into words how amazing it all was. There’s that many people that I can’t thank everyone individually enough – more than 300 people came to support it. Scores of businesses donated raffle prizes and things…

I have been absolutely humbled, overwhelmed, gob-smacked really by the generosity of our friends. I cannot possibly list all the people who have stepped forward to help us – and I cannot possibly thank enough all the amazing people who have been fund-raising for us as a family. One thing people don’t realise is that…

Saint Antonin Noble Val, Noon Pyrenees is where I started as a chef. It is a place that is so special to me – I still remember being in the vineyards, sampling the wines, being able to tell the different tastes of the grapes. I really wanted to show my family where I lived and…

A special message from Adele: Happy 13th Wedding Anniversary to us! Look how young we look😀…it’s certainly been a rollercoaster but I wouldn’t change it for the world😘Someone has to put up with you TB❤️❤️

Last night, I had the most amazing phone call. Jean-Christophe Novelli called me. I have never met him before but he came across my blog and very kindly wanted to help. I can’t wait to meet him in person – he’s an amazing chef and an amazing person. Cancer is a shit. It touches so…

It’s the day after I had my latest round of immunotherapy and I’ve started to notice some joint swelling. My joints are very painful – it eases throughout the day but it hurts. I knew this was a side-effect, it affects many people in many different ways. Are you having nivolumab immunotherapy? I’d love to…
