Apart from a dog weeing on my rucksack while I snoozed on the beach , the first mini-break of the hols was fab .
It involved walking over the Kent cliffs from Margate to Ramsgate , eating too much , Scrabble, singing ( the A-Z game, used to keep Jane and I awake for hours ) and all the other usual stuff ..
But this is the big news which I thought you might be interested in ……
On Monday at 9pm on ITV the programme ‘Diana,Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy ‘ is aired .
It will show a clip of John talking to William and Kate about Rosie and CBUK . Amanda Redman is narrating . Ashley Gething , the Producer/director emailed John and told him Amanda was visibly moved as she knew John and taught Rosie for many years at Artists Theatre School.
Unfortunately John and I will be camping in Dorset, Florence will be hiking in Bulgaria and Jacob is in Amsterdam !
So if you see it please let me know what you think…I might even have a signal !
We have mixed emotions about this .
No doubt ,John’s appearance will be brief ,but most of all wishing because of Rosie’s death , John hadn’t had to do this interview , but also glad he had the opportunity to speak
Also wIshing John never had to give this interview. He did so well and should be proud. I can’t imagine the shock you all must have felt. I wasn’t a parent at that time, but now with two girls of my own feel humbled and reminded that life is precious and can be short. Sending your family love , health and best wishes Janine Jones an old work colleague.
John was impressive, in a bitter/sweet programme.
It must have been the last place you wanted to be but, John, you had such a strong presence which spoke volumes. And, my goodness, that very beautiful photo of Rosie and you…
