Iris, thank you very much for your great advice to children - and to adults, too! I think it would be a fun idea for your mum to draw pictures to go with your tips and you could make a wonderful book together that lots and lots of people would enjoy!

Iris, I grabbed a pencil to write down, “today is a great day to be amazing”.

It’s just what I needed, your list brought tears to my eyes and a warmth to my heart.

Dear Gillian, I think your children will be grand xxxx
