A big thank you to everyone who went to the Dillington garden open day, especially Nita and Jim for hosting it and Lesley and Rik for all their help with it. Thanks to everyone who donated time, effort and money. A total of £10,000 was raised for Momentum which just magnificent and will go towards helping children like Kiera get through their illness.

Talking of Kiera! She goes from strength to strength! On Wednesday she walked into Teddington on her own, did a bit of shopping then came back. No scooter or wheel chair in sight! Yesterday Kiera took a small table at the school summer fete to sell the necklaces, bracelets and other bead things that she's made. Made a tidy profit on them!Today, Kiera, Ann and I CYCLED to Teddington Lock for their open day. These little displays of effort seem to show to us that she is really making progress and is on the mend. Chemo continues for the next week, then a weeks break from it.
