Well, as you some of you may know, this is my 70th year, and I’m delighted to be here!

To mark the occasion, I have decided to walk part of the South West Coastal Path - 60 miles over three days, with my sister Jane.

Together, with 48 other hikers, we will be raising money for Children’s Hospice South West, who provide hospice care for children and young people living with life-limiting conditions, and their whole family.

Charlton Farm in particular, has played an important part in our family’s life. Not only did they provide loving care for our beautiful granddaughter Nel, but also for the rest of the family, in particular, her parents.

Nel absolutely loved spending time at Charlton Farm, it was a joyous and beautiful place to be, bringing her much happiness and contentment for her family.

I want no gifts for my birthday, but if you would like to sponsor me and Jane for this wonderful cause, then that would be amazing.

We are, Team Nel!

Love to you all
