thetimes.co.uk/article/charit…
🗣 We always had a multilingual Santa and served beautiful vegetarian food. I think it gave refugee families a moment of respite, a moment to feel honoured and valued in a space that was safe and in which their children could be children and enjoy themselves Image
🗣 It was at one of these parties I was fortunate enough to meet the boy who would become our son Image

“I was a disappointment from the minute I popped out,” says @clarebalding. This was because she was the firstborn and not a boy

“Oh, it’s a girl,” her grandmother said. “Never mind, you’ll just have to keep trying”

thetimes.co.uk/article/clare-…
Growing up, Balding’s father, Ian, trained racehorses for the Queen who would come for a fry-up twice a year before inspecting her thoroughbreds

Balding recalls once trying to cut into a sausage and sending it shooting across the table at their visitor
“The Queen is very keen on sport, obviously racing, but also on #Crufts. Loves Crufts. Loves to talk about dogs,” Balding recalls

“The relationship with dogs and horses many of us will be very familiar with. They don’t respect you for your status; you have to earn their love”
