It’s all in your head
Current reading is this book about psychosomatic illness. It’s very interesting, the manner in which people develop very real, and debilitating symptoms such as paralysis and blindness, from their subconscious. One of the tragedies is that they often resist the diagnosis of psychosomatic as they think it means they’re making it up, and so continue to suffer.
Filming Casualty
They are filming the hospital drama Casualty in the forest by me on the basis that this forest represents the sole outdoor location in the whole of Wales (it’s used for everything). They were set up in the three bears cave so I’m predicting a “foolish kids get trapped in a collapsed mine” storyline. Don’t worry – all storylines will be neatly resolved in 1 hour.
