A short update from Chester where we are meeting up with  a group of old friends.

I didn’t mention in my last blog the awful news of Jo Cox’s’ tragic killing on Thursday. I was listening to the news as I travelled back from Newport as the dreadful story developed. To hear and then read about what a talented caring and compassionate MP who championed the cause of the most vulnerable in the world to be so brutally murdered is incomprehensible. It is also heartbreaking to think of her family and friends. I hope that those who spew hateful and negative bile from the pages of newspapers and the lips of so-called politicians maybe reflect on their impact.
