OBE!!


 It has been a while since I wrote anything, I have been so busy! But I couldn't not write about this amazing experience at Windsor Castle!

I am unbelievably proud to have been given an OBE in the King's birthday honours list, and the experience of going to the castle to receive it from Prince William was surreal.

He was absolutely charming, a real "Prince Charming" who was really interested and asked lots of questions that made sense!

I am still a bit overwhelmed with it all, and not sure if I am making any sense! It seems odd to get an award for something you love doing, like being given a box of chocolates and then getting an award for eating them!

That said, I hope my writing urge will get moving again, there is always so much to say about the addiction world and the survivor world too! I have it in mind to record a few thoughts on video, hope that doesn't sound too pretentious!

In the meantime, here's the video of the Investiture, what a memory!
