Jilly Cooper on Life
Jilly Cooper and her daughter, Emily, are featured in the Sunday Times Magazine Relative Values interview today.
Her daughter said of Jilly.
In October 1999 Mum was in that terrible Paddington train crash. Miraculously she managed to climb out of the carriage, covered in someone else’s blood, cleaned herself up and went off to her meeting. Later she was offered counselling, but said: “Why on earth would I want that. I’m alive aren’t I?” In Mum’s book, life is for living, and that’s something I absolutely love about her.
Jilly is so right. After a tragedy, you just have to pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again!
Perhaps the strangest thing about the interview is how the young Jilly Cooper looks so much like her daughter now. It’s strange because Emily and her brother were adopted.
But then C was adopted and unless you have experienced it at a close level as I obviously have, there is nothing so unlike what you think it might be, than the relationship between parents and their adopted children.
GP Prescribes Jesus
If my GP did that to me, I’d report it immediately and move elsewhere as soon as possible.
But according to The Sunday Times today, a GP, Richard Scott, has been suspended for doing just that.

Perhaps it was an accident, but it just shows how when everybody knows, it is difficult to keep a secret. There’s more here.
The sooner this farce is ended the better!
The only people who will be upset when it ends will be the lawyers.
