| It’s what teddy bears are for. I got one in my 50s. He’s sitting here right next to me now. |

Absolutely.
I’ll give you a wave when I see you there.
No hurry, though… |

| When I was a kid I spent a lot of time sitting under the table and chairs or behind the sofa. Nobody knew where I was. I would also sit with a coat or a towel over my head. Nobody ever seemed to think it was weird and it just seemed natural to me. It just made me feel safe and comfortable. |

When I got the future Mrs Trueno’s number it took me a week to call. I was too scared.

| I have two sets of stairs in my house… double the chance of falling down one. I’ve had an extra rail put on each, so I can grab both sides going up and down. I feel much safer now… a local joiner could do it really cheaply… or the Council might do it for nowt. |

That’s really great. I know what it’s like to be unsteady on your feet and be at constant risk of falling.
