Lucy's Light: Podcast Interview

I was recently for my friend Lucy Watt's podcast.  You will know her from my When Life Gives You Lemons interview.

Lucy and I have known eachother for many years now and it was like talking to an old friend as I openly shared my personal experiences of what it's like to be a carer and my tips for anyone who finds themselves in a caring role for a family member.

When Life Gives You Lemons: Lucy Watts MBE

-->

I'm delighted to launch a new series on my blog today, it's called When Life Gives You Lemons.  Over the years I have had the pleasure to meet and get to know some incredible people, many of whom have faced adversity and have decided not to be defined by this but instead to seize the day and make the most of their situation.  Andy would always say "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!". It as always been the spirit by which I have chosen to live my life so I thought it was about time I shone the spotlight on some other people who are also making lemonade.

Today I would like to introduce Lucy Watts MBE.

 I first met Lucy online about 5 years ago and got to meet her face to face in 2014  I was speaking at an event for the children's Palliative Care Charity, Together for Short Lives and Lucy was there also with her mum Kate in her role as a young ambassador for the charity.  We have stayed in touch ever since and I am so glad that she was also able to meet Andy.
