I have a guilty secret, I spend a lot of time reading gentle romances. I’ve always been an avid reader but before ME/CFS my reading choices were very different. I would have looked down on the romance genre as not worthy of my time. Since ME/CFS it’s been a life saver. I read to relax, … Read more

About 10 days ago my parents and I braved the snow and went to see Jenifer Brea’s award-winning documentary ‘Unrest’ at a showing in a local church hall.

(I think I may still need to work on my non-defensive attitude!). The authors try to mask their obvious assumption that … Read more
