Today I woke up at some unearthly time (5 .30 am ) to get ready for the final Daisy Appeal Breakfast. Somehow I found myself in my Nephew-in-Law's, (Paul, father of the gorgeous Harry) car at 6am who kindly drove me to the Rose Bowl, home of Hampshire CC.
We got there a bit early. I met Julian Clegg and we sat down in the reception room. Really glad Paul was with me. I don't feel very easy at gatherings when you don't really know anyone and my 'small talk' runs out of juice after about 5 minutes. So we had a good chat on our table.
Daisy Fundraisers gradually filtered in and the show began. Couldn't really hear what was going on studio-side and heard just snippets of Julians chats as he went from table to table. A lot of cheques were being handed over and photos taken. The Daisy Appeal Bus was parked out side. The 'Clean Briefs' came armed with Guitars and made up a very song about the Daisy Fundraising.
Suddenly Julian Clegg was at our table,(he is so lovely and cuddly) we had a good interview and I gave over the money. I have managed to raise £450 pounds ...well loads of lovely people have sponsored me very generously
It feels a little sad that the Daisy Appeal is finishing but I've said before the fitness plan goes on. Also Wessex Cancer Trust will still be fundraising for lots of exciting projects. One in particular is that they are hoping to help fund breast cancer screening in a new way...by blood tests... they also part fund specialist staff for cancer orientated medical care

Nameless is no longer nameless he is to be called Bartleby. But according to T.S Elliot I think this can be a long winded ceremony
