Brilliant - I have long thought that the law on assisted dying should be changed. Your dog analogy is spot on. I do take exception to your comments about fondue and raclette though - I would be very, very happy to have a large supply of melting cheese as my last meal! Tartiflette, better still. 🧀😋

The way you have written this is extraordinary. You’re opening doors to thoughts that we, as humans, are frightened to open, to ask, to understand. Your blogs move me they really do.

Doing some catch up on your blogs. This one resonates with me. Bravado makes me say I have taken my own decisions on which road I should take through life. So why should I be denied this last one? Then that devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear “But are you brave enough?”

Difficult topic and I admire your courage to share your thoughts. I'll share mine spontaneously: should you ever decide to take that trip to Switzerland, let me know if there is anything I could contribute to make it as easy for you as possible over here. In the meantime I look forward to reading many, many more of your inspiring blogs

Hello Charlie, I look forward to your blogs every Friday morning. You make me laugh (wine), you’ve helped me reassess my own mental health as a strength for the first time in ??50 years (ocd), and you inspire me to love every day, be grateful for the small things, and hug my 2 boys and crazy dog extra tight. And you bring such important topics out of the taboo. You have all my respect, and much love this morning. Jo xxx

Morning Charlie- this really made me think about the assisted dying dilemma so thank you for that. Genuinely- your words stay in my head for a long time.

But- Swiss cheese is revolting .....xxx
