Life Chez Dee Episode #113: #15forEdward
It’s April already, and with this comes the thoughts, the build up, the feeling which permeates every bit of my being, knowing that we’re in the days approaching Edward’s birthday. What I should be doing is hiding the presents I’ve bought him, finalising party arrangements, putting aside cards which arrive through the letterbox so that all these surprises are there waiting for him to excitedly open when he gets up in the morning. But that is far from reality now. I will get u

Life Chez Dee Episode #106: Be inspired; be inspiring
International Women's Day has come round again. Every year I think of so many women who inspire me, and this year is no different. I wrote this piece a couple of years ago, still as relevant today as it was then so I thought I'd republish it. It was International Women’s Day this week. My social media newsfeed was full of inspirational quotes; of stories of inspirational women, strong women, women paving the way and inspiring generations of women. I was privileged to be inv

Life Chez Dee Episode #36: Garden #forEdward
I’ve had such a lovely day today. I’m feeling rather like a great deal has been accomplished, but I’m cold … really cold. I’m naturally a cold blooded person … I’m cold most of the time if I’m honest; but when I get cold I stay cold, I just cannot warm up no matter how warm the house is when I get back. When I’m chilled to the core, the only solution to get warm is to have a bath, get in pjs, dressing gown, slippers and cosy up in a big armchair with a hot drink. Those who k

Life Chez Dee Episode #29: Love, Pride and Thanks
This weekend, the first ever Ball #forEdward was in full swing. I’ve been sitting today, recovering for a start, from lack of sleep, sore feet, late night, but also looking through so many fabulous photos of the event, and reflecting on what a huge success it was. Many, many months ago, Gary Fox, Oliver’s drum teacher, Head of Schools Music Service in Fylde, and drummer, singer and leader of Switched on Swing, mentioned to me that the band would love to play and support at an

Life Chez Dee Episode #21: Spreading the word
So this weekend has been all about Edward again. We’ve been in a local store, raising awareness, and a group of NCS Students have been at Lytham Hall fundraising for The Edward Dee Fund too. I’d suggested to William, who is in this NCS Group, that they split up so that they could sell raffle tickets in both places, therefore reaching more people. So William, and another, joined us in Booths. It was lovely to be in St Anne’s Booths, right on the doorstep of Edward’s school, ne

Life Chez Dee Episode #18: Carnival Day
Carnival Day … St Annes was buzzing. We decided to enter the charity into St Annes Carnival Parade after the fantastic comments, feedback, and indeed reception we had in Lytham at Club Day. The bikes were yet again adorned with flags, balloons, charity logos, streamers, bubble machines. We were all here kids of all ages and adults; bikes, three wheelers, prams, kids on child seats …. all enthusiastic; all wanting to be a part of our group; all raising awareness #forEdward. We
