Dr Ewe

Dr Who sheep and Tardis

I love Dr Who and I’m loving the latest UK series (it’s as though that whole nasty business with Amy Pond never happened) I grew up as many did on Daleks, The Master, Davros, frilly shirts, long scarfs, K9, wobbly scenery and jelly babies. In fact the very first Dr Who episode aired the day after I was born (which means I was born the day President JF Kennedy was assassinated. So between them, the president and the Doctor, my entrance into the world was overshadowed from the start!)
So, I’ve made a Dr Ewe in honour of the world’s (universe’s?) favourite time TimeLord. (Ok Ok, I know a ewe is female but let’s not split er wool – it’s the Dr accept it*) I’ve chosen this particular Dr, not because he’s my favourite, but because, well he wears a fez and as we all know fezzes are cool. Oh and the bow tie too, let’s not forget that.
Which means I now get to have a dream come true as I become the Dr’s assistant and together we will travel through time and space** helping to promote organ donation.

*A kind of quote from the latest Dr, not me being bossy
**Not strictly true.

Living with IPF

Admin posts

This a video of an interview with me made by the lovely Jeremy Jeffs of Magneto Films for the British Lung Foundation to help highlight a little of what life is like with IPF. It was recorded about four months post transplant, just before I lost all my hair but still sporting a cracking pair of steroid induced hamster cheeks.

And the pink shoes? I am truly sorry.

British Lung Foundation

Have you found one of our fabulous GREEN sheep? They’re on a special mission during the week 5th-11th October 2015 to help promote awareness of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is the life threatening illness I had which resulted in me needing a double lung transplant. To find out more about this devastating illness and read and hear personal stories please go to www.blf.org.uk

If you have found any of our sheep, it would be fantastic if you could post a photo on here, we’d love to see and find out where they were found.  We have a lot of anxious ‘parents’ waiting to hear news of their lost little ones! Or click on our FB link and post a photo there if you prefer (oh that’s kind of a poem!)
