OMS Door to Door Challenge departure date minus 3 weeks

So the purpose of this weeks blog is so that I can test the IT to make sure that it works remotely while we’re on the challenge and I can upload videos for you while we’re away. So we are at the Green Man festival and it’s great opportunity for me to try it all out. So I’m writing this blog at the festival. This is the first time we’ve been here, surrounded by the beautiful Brecon Beacons, and held in the Glanusk estate, the setting is stunning.

It’s also a great opportunity to practice the sort of day I might have on the challenge. Thursday consisted of a Pilates 1-1 then I drover our faithful motorhome Celeste 3 hours to the festival, parked up using blocks to get her as level as possible (not easy in itself as there is a tendency to overshoot the blocks and then you have to start again. Finally I used the lump hammer to put up the windbreak around Celeste. I was pretty chuffed with myself. Ian kept trying to help and I kept refusing his help.

So I started going to Festivals 10 years ago. That was pre diagnosis, we’d take our trailer tent with its huge awning and it would take about 90 mins to put up. There would also be a fair walk from the campsite into the festival. Add to that all the standing, and trekking back to get changed for the evening. I began to find it more and more tiring and we’d miss things we wanted to see because I just wanted to rest. It became less and less enjoyable.

So last year I took the brave step to using the accessibility camping at Beautiful Days. I say brave because not only is it another step in my MS journey that needed some acceptance, part of me felt a bit of a fraud because I’m not a wheelchair user. Crazy isn’t it. But not every disability is visible. I need not have worried about it. There were many others with invisible disabilities, so I didn’t feel like I stood out like a sore thumb. After all, the whole point is that I should enjoy the festival just as much as someone without a disability would. And I have huge respect for those that come in their mobility scooters. I’ve seen an off-road version that looks like it’s made from huge mechano and has a massive thick back wheel. And another sort of wheelchair/scooter combo, where the electric front wheel disengages to leave an ordinary wheelchair. Amazing versatility.

A great thing about this festival is the range of quality vegan food. For Saturday Kitchen viewers, Tibet Kitchen is here. Delicious. They were selling their cookbook, which included the dishes at the festival. Looking forward to trying them out.

Finally. I have managed my mindfulness, my food exercises and my Pilates flow while I’ve been at the festival. It bodes well for the challenge. I also achieved over 18,000 steps on Thursday and 13,000 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

So, if you’re reading this and seeing a couple of short videos all the tech has gone to plan.

Thanks for reading and for all your support

Jane and Ian

In 2008 Christopher Russell Bailey, 5th Baron Glanusk, suggested that the time had come for a recall of the Magnum Concilium, since hereditary peers had lost their right to sit in the House of Lords under the House of Lords Act 1999.[2]

absolutely baffled what this would even accomplish

Everything You Need to Know About Prince William and Prince Harry's Nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke

In 1993, not long after Prince Charles and Princess Diana's divorce, Tiggy Legge-Bourke began to work for him. Tiggy, who was 28 at the time, became quite enmeshed in the Charles and Diana tabloid dramas that journalist Martin Bashir was able to gain his infamous 1995 Panorama interview with Princess Diana by using untrue rumors about her.

The BBC has agreed to cover Mrs. Pettifer significant damages, and Tim Davie, deputy director of the BBC, said so in a statement, "I would still like to take an opportunity to publicly apologize to her, to The Prince of Wales, and to the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex for the way inside which Princess Diana was deceived and the subsequent impact on all their lives."

She was born Alexandra Shân "Tiggy" Legge-Bourke to Dame Elizabeth Shân Legge-Bourke (née Bailey) and William Legge-Bourke. Her mother Shân would be the only child of Wilfred Bailey, 3rd Baron Glanusk, and her father William served in the Royal Horse Guards before going on and become a banker.

Shân had a close connection with said aristocracy; in 1987, Princess Anne named her as her lady-in-waiting. Harry Legge-Bourke, Tiggy's brother, served as Queen Elizabeth II's Page of Honor from 1985 to 1987.

After attending the all-girls boarding school Heathfield School in Ascot, Tiggy finished her education at the Institut Alpin Videmanette in Rougemont, Switzerland, where Princess Diana also studied.

Princess Charles hired Tiggy as a nanny for his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, following his divorce from Princess Diana. She reportedly said according to Diana, "She gives [William and Harry] a tennis ball and a bucket of popcorn at the movies," as opposed to "I give them what they really want at around this stage: Fresh air, a rifle, and a horse." This statement sparked outrage and she was soon subject to even further criticism.

Tiggy irritated Diana. Princess Diana advised Tiggy to "not spend useless time in the children's rooms… read to them at night, nor supervise their bathtime" in a letter to Charles in February 1996.

Tiggy was frequently seen traveling with said princes because they regarded her as their "big sister."

Martin Bashir convinced Princess Diana in 1995 that the royal nanny had an abortion and was having sex with Prince Charles. The BBC is expressing disappointment for the harm caused to Tiggy's reputation almost 30 years ago.

The BBC has agreed to cover Mrs. Pettifer significant damages, and Tim Davie, deputy director of the BBC, said so in a statement, "I would still like to take an opportunity to publicly apologize to her, to The Prince of Wales, and to the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex for the way in which Princess Diana was deceived and the subsequent impact on all their lives."

Tiggy replied by claiming that she could be "one of several people whose jobs have also been scarred by the dangerous way in which all the BBC Panorama was made and the BBC's successive failure to adequately investigate the maker of the programme."

While she wed Charles Pettifer, she ended her life as a royal nanny but chose to continue to convey with Harry and William.

In Gliffaes, Wales, she started a boutique hotel with said nom de plume Ty'r Chanter Bed & Breakfast. Following the pandemic, it appears to no longer be in operation, but TripAdvisor had too many positive reviews.

"While we approached, we were graced with tea and delightful biscuits. The residences are chummy and swanky, and they do have their own bathrooms, electric blankets, flowers, and turndown service. Whilst still we got sick of the homemade treats and cakes, Tiggy taught our kids how to fly fish. I could still enhance even more how heavily I recommend paying Tiggy's isolated island country a visit "another said.

Friday 30th July

Glanusk, en route and slow

1. A lunchtime visit to Aunty Liz and her two lovely dogs on the Glanusk estate. K is reticent but, by the end, she is stroking their tummies with the rest of them.

2. We take possession of ‘Kite’, a beautiful narrow boat and get on the way. The scenery is stunning.

3. The slow pace is great and it’s also nice to have a cup of tea whilst steering!

Beater, Glanusk Estate, Powys, Wales, Autumn 2015.

One of my favourite ever portraits, this was taken while moving to a shoot in an old army 4x4 truck, with the subject sitting at the back of the van, morning light gracing his young face. The odd mixture of blue light falling through the roof repaired by tarpaulin and natural light is interesting and rare. From Bang Goes Threepence, 2016.
