Olly and I are so proud to say we have joined the @downs_syndrome_association as patrons alongside stellar folk like @sarahgordy_actor and @judidenchofficial. When Olly was born the first person with #DS I met was @anyasouza a stained glass artist, a patron of the @downs_syndrome_association who lived independently around the corner from us in North London, who took us both under her wing, had us for coffee in the flat she shared with her partner, Paul and did such a lot to alleviate the nerves I was feeling to have arrived in this new world. We hope to be able to pass some of that forward. So much of what the DSA do goes unnoticed, like getting specialist help to the Down’s syndrome community in Ukraine, getting people into work, running a helpline, and supporting sports clubs like the Brentford Penguins @brentfordfc #mightypenguins @brentfordpenguins where Olly is training to be a coach. Olly says ‘I am a bit nervous about becoming patron, but I’m getting there. It’s an honour for us to be asked and we will do our best to bring about good change for people with Down’s syndrome. One thing I loved at the DSA was a dance workshop with Andrew, The Greatest Dancer from Britain’s Got Talent.’ The DSA is the only charity in the UK that supports anyone who has Down’s syndrome, and their parents and carers, from before birth through to old age and everything in between, but shouting out to all the fierce folk out there fighting so hard to level the playing field – @dse.international @culturedevice @dsrf_uk @positive_about_down_syndrome @blink.dance.theatre @skylarks @specialneedsjungle @dragsyndrome @josephine_and_jack @nationaldiversityawards – so many of you…The Down’s syndrome community has given us so much; larks and laughs, support networks and lifelong friends who feel like family. We hope we can give something back. Eek. World Down Syndrome Day is on 21 March.
It has been a privilege and very great pleasure to be working with @mr_a_plus_michael on his acting debut in Austin. He is an actual comedy genius. And @actualbenmiller is not bad either. Take note of picture 2 where Olly hero worships Michael in this ‘two cakes in the Tower tearoom’ shot 📺 @abctv @abccanberra @northernpictures @itvstudios

Stockholm with Olly and McGee to hang out with #AuntieSweetie aka @nististerk – #snowballs @abbamuseum @downtowncamper. Amazing food, eye watering karaoke, old, dear friend. Thank you for my clogs! Very sorry to miss the @Mosaicteatern. Next time. Will be back soon. Really nearly my favourite place.

This exists! An actual Cheese Grotto. More like a multifaith cheese church with chanting and a giant crystal. Was initially afraid I was going to be expected to fondue in fondue-shaped hot tub but was mercifully dry. Cheese with a view. Wrote another article for this searchable online. Was guest of #visitswitzerland 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
