About this deal

Every home should have one: this testament to what it’s really like on that front-line’– Write Out Loud– full review here

Practice the Reading: Once you have chosen a reading, practice reading it out loud to get a feel for how it sounds. Adjust the tone and pace as necessary, and make sure it is a comfortable length for the ceremony. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery, " The Little Prince" THESE are the hands that will love you and cherish you throughout the years for a lifetime of happiness. This is the writing wing of the NHS. This is where the open heart surgery is. What a beautiful operation. Read on’– Lemn Sissay These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and vibrant with love, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as he promises to passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness.This anthology offers a unique insight into the real experiences of the people at the heart of the NHS – from the student nurse at the start of his career to the heart surgeon on the eve of her retirement. We also hear the stories of those whose vital work is often unseen and unsung from domestic cleaning staff to sign language interpreters. The poems offer unflinchingly honest and intimate accounts from the people who care for us from the moment of birth to the end of life. In crystallising the most beautiful and painful moments of being human, they speak directly to all our experience. Above all these poems are about our shared humanity. They are about the compassion and care that lie at the heart of the NHS and in all our lives. They also serve as a stark reminder of the human cost of trying to offer compassionate care in a system that is underfunded and understaffed and the importance of showing the same compassion and support to the staff we depend on to hold the NHS together. Leading UK poets have donated poems to this anthology including Michael Rosen, Roger McGough, Lemn Sissay, Sabrina Mahfouz, Kate Clanchy, Sam Guglani, Charly Cox, Molly Case, Wendy Cope and the estates of UA Fanthorpe, Dannie Abse and Julia Darling. All proceeds from this book will go to NHS Charities Together which supports over 135 official NHS Charities raising money for NHS hospitals, ambulance services, community and mental health services across the UK. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of planning a wedding, but the ceremony itself is one of the most meaningful parts of the day. Choosing the perfect ceremony reading can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect reading for your big day.

I re-run on my retina the Johnson rise to power. Alongside his bus-ad hoax, I see him standing on a soap-box outside a care home shouting, “Remember the Bard: ‘sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. We shall abolish the seventh age of man. What a relief for everyone concerned, eh?” Would that pitch have worked as well as “Get Brexit done?” Probably not. So how has it happened that the Johnson team have been able to get away with this murderous stuff? Christopher, please hold Stephanie†™s hands palms up, so you may see the gift that they are to you.
