John – you know we are not ‘tough’ – just born with a bit of extra grit in our hearts for when the going gets tough
which is why our hearts are so big!!
Bless you ... it bowled me over the effort you made to show support today – so what it meant to Tina, Goodness knows .....
(I have just about snoozed off the lunch!!!! (Too many liquid grapes in my case!)
That 'Angi Babe' always leads me astray!
)
Tina... when you have had some rest sure we will discuss more ... came away after last night’s meeting wondering if some small victories had already been achieved ..... there was already evidence of some backtracking and the lifting of a ‘moratorium on new intake’ (Councillor’s words) even prior to the review concluding????? ..... but then still bewildered by conflicting accounts (from councillors or public) of what has been happening in these care homes and options considered for their futures long before this ‘review’ was announced or what may yet be proposed .... hmmmmm ... some things best not shared on a public forum, methinks ........
You little troublemaker, you, Tina!
Good on yer! Methinks the 'review' has already been reviewed - in light of all the attention you have drawn ..... some people didn't think of 'public opinion' sat in ivory towers drawing their humungous salaries thinking this was all going to be plain sailing, they could tick a few boxes and justify their decision, huh?
Not sure about Corrie Street - somehow your 'fight' reminded me of this clip

(Note to moderators or anyone else before they throw the book at me: not meant to be political - just a bit of fun! There was huge stress at the Public Meeting that this issue was not a party political one but one where concensus must be achieved to protect our vulnerable - cor blimey - why do I feel like I always have to defend myself on TP?!
All power to you, Tina - a remarkable, remarkable achievement thusfar - glad you relaxed a little this afternoon, x
