Lord-Lieutenants nominate individuals who represent community activities to attend an annual Garden Party hosted by The Queen. In this case it was me (and Kerry) for charity work Angels of Kings Lynn just as the first lockdown struck.

Most unexpected and exciting!  and on befhalf of all of the Angels who worked tirelessly ..

"I have a first edition of Red Watch. Great read.I think I've read most on your list, but two I would recommend are, Lifting the Kid @Kfullen76
& Fire Woman @FireWomanJo1
Two excellent reads and books the majority of the FRS can learn from."


​".. One of the best biography I have ever read"
