I had a ticket to ride...
Take a look at our sleeping angel Katy Holmes...for those who don't know Katy fell asleep in January this year at the age of 10 after a relatively short battle with a brain tumour...as those of you who have lost a loved one know the pain we feel is unbearable, but when you lose a child I think the grief is that much harder to bear...I had the pleasure of spending some time with the Holmes family last weekend, despite their grief they have embarked on an amazing campaign...Team Katy Holmes was set up in Katy's memory to both raise awareness and raise money towards much needed research into this underfunded child cancer. I had the privilege of being invited to join Team Katy Holmes as the Ambassador of laughter. This was after Paula, Katy's mother said I had helped them smile and laugh again through my antics!...Well this weekend saw the Preston guild take place, only happens once every 20 years...Katy Holmes Trust had a float in the torchlight parade and I was honoured to ride this with Katy's sister Charley and the wonderful husky team...Here's how it all went...please take time to visit Katy Holmes Trust website and read of the wonderful work this amazing and dedicated team do...I am proud to be part of the team and be of help to Paula and Dave Holmes...
I started me day at cock o clock...me sykick spirit guide Maureen was singin Carpenters songs...couldn't get back off...then I had to go on a train...a long haul train to Preston...it was a Virgin Pedallo train...ded posh...i had a plug sokit an a table...the toilets were all lektrik...I was met by the lovely Paula Holmes...i now she was amazed by me bewty in real life coz of the way she looked me up n down...i went to giv her a kiss but bit like all me boyfrends she said she suffered invisible cold sores and would pass on a kiss...I was taken to Casa Holmes to be greeted by the lovely Dave...dishy Dave as heez nown in Preston...he had a lovely glass of chilled Lambrini ready for me...then I met HRH Charley Holmes...i ad to kertsee coz she met Prince Harry that week gettin a Wellchild award for her wonderful work with Katy...Oooh she had it in for me from the start...'I'm the belle of this ball and float she said'....we agreed to compromize an share the float...Paula asked me to hold baby Scarlet but she was overcome with the smell of me Far La...before we knew it it was time to head off to our float...not before dishy Dave got me in the back of his van to show me his toolbox!...never herd it called that before...
