A note from the studio..
In April this year, while leaving Polzeath, I suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Slumped at the wheel, I was miraculously found by two incredible A&E nurses, Sarah and Emily, followed by a part-time lifeguard, Ben, and his son. Many others joined in that rescue, including Melissa at the National Trust with a defibrillator, but it was Sarah, Emily, Ben, and his son who gave me 16 life-saving minutes of CPR, without them I would not be here today.
The Cornwall Air Ambulance, by fortunate coincidence on a training flight, arrived within minutes of my resuscitation and whisked me to Truro Hospital. I am forever indebted to everyone who came to my aid that April afternoon, and to the Cornwall Air Ambulance for their extraordinary lifesaving work. Supporting their mission is something close to my heart.
For those who have ordered my Charity Christmas Cards over the years, you’ll know that I love capturing my daughters each year. This year, it felt right to set the scene at the much-loved St Enodoc Church, Trebetheric. If you look closely, you’ll also spot the air ambulance in the distance a quiet tribute to the incredible team who gave me a second chance at life.
I hope this year’s card brings you joy, and perhaps a moment to reflect on the extraordinary kindness and skill of everyday heroes.
