It was a privilege to meet Prof Jacqui Shaw at Leicester University, who leads a team working on diagnosing cancers & recurrence by analysing DNA in blood samples before major symptoms are present. Early treatment is shown to improve prognosis – this may change the cancer picture. Thanks to the local charity Hope Against Cancer for organising the visit and helping to fund the research.
The bees are buzzing, the sun is shining & there is a mass of blossom here in my garden in Rutland. Hoping for a sunny Easter weekend & plenty of healthy bees & honey this year!
A new High Sheriff for Rutland! At Oakham Castle, Sue Jarron handed over to Margaret Miles (@rutlandsheriff19). Sue has done a wonderful job. I am sure Margaret will as well. Many congratulations!
