  1. It brings me great sadness to tell you that devastatingly we lost our dearest Darren early yesterday evening. I spent the last week religiously by his side at The Royal Marsden and whilst I never ever wanted to lose him I am thankful that he is now resting and at peace. My sincere thanks go out to all of the incredible people that looked after him at The Royal Marsden Chelsea. You are superstars. There is so much I want to write here as Darren was one of life’s greats - a real character and a true gent - but I simply don’t think there is enough space. Everyone that met Dazza fell a little bit in love with him. Whilst my time with him was cut short way too soon, I look upon every moment of my 3.5 years with him as the biggest gift. I’m so happy the stars aligned and brought us together - we were soulmates and each other’s ‘one’. ❤️ I’d like to end this post on a lighthearted note and to show one of the many funny quirks he had that made me fall in love with him…. For as long as I’d known D he always found himself craving certain random foods - we used to call them the ‘hankerings’. Some of his many hankerings included the likes of a scotch egg, babaganoosh, salt beef bagel, pineapple pizza, mussels in white wine and cream and a Magnum! Two days before he passed away he had slept most of the morning and couldn’t speak that clearly. I suddenly heard the feint word ‘Mortadella’ muttered and I realised he wanted a mortadella sandwich. The nurses tipped me off about the best Italian deli on the Fulham Road and so off I marched in search of this special sandwich that Sir had requested. Whilst his appetite had really dwindled, he sat in his bed and ate every last bite of that sandwich, washed down with a can of coke. He kept giving me the thumbs up and called it his ‘last supper.’ Which heartbreakingly it was. In honour of my Dazza, I’d like to ask you all to enjoy a mortadella sandwich at some point soon and remember him. If you don’t know what it is and have never tried it - even better - you will thank him! He received so much support from you all on here so I’d like to thank you for being there for him. 🖤 Godspeed my love. 26.07.67 - 04.07.22

  1. COMPLETE SOUTH OF THAILAND ITINERARY ⬇️ This is EVERYTHING I wish I knew about the islands in the south before I started travelling!! Places to visit (🌟 were my faves) Phuket 🌟 Ko phi phi 🌟 Krabi Koh Samui 🌟 Koh Tao Ko Phangan Bangkok Khao Sok National park Chiang Mai 🌟Pai PHUKET Party/clubbing vibe. 🍺 Party place is patong beach (in my opinion crazier than ko San road - the main strip in Bangkok) 🏠 Old town is beautiful for pics 🌅 Loved big Buddha at sunset 🐘 Elephant sanctuary is amazing 🏖️ Freedom beach and Bangtao beach KO PHI PHI Party/ beach vibes. 🌄 The Viewpoint 🛥️ Blanco’s boat party or island tour to see the sites in one go - Monkey beach, Viking cave and Maya Bay 🏊 Ocean pool party was 👌🏻 🎇 Fire shows along the beach at night 🥊 Reggae bar good to watch Muay Thai - swapping between watching pros and backpackers (backpackers can get in the ring to win a bucket of beers) 🐂 Slinky’s fun at night, can also ride a rodeo bull to win drinks 🤿 Can also do your PADI/ diving if you’re not going to Koh Tao Food: garlic 1992, pirates house Indian AO NANG / KRABI Bit of everything. Beach, party, good food, jungle tours, beach tours 🏖️ If you’re not going to Railay beach to stay, you can do a day trip from here 🏠 Stayed at Nomads and had the best time (but be prepared to drink, not sleep, have hangovers from hell and the time of your life for a couple days) 🌴 Jungle tour: Emerald pool, Krabi Hot Spring and Tiger Cave 🌟🛥️ Boat party: Gets a star because I met a couple friends for life on this trip. See beautiful Railay beach if you’re not going to stay, snorkelling, diapering (think floating in the ocean with a beer with your friends) 10/10 🌳 Kayaking through a mangrove forest 🍺 Nights out: Bar crawls, live music, pool, turns ‘clubby’ later COMMENT what part of Thailand you’re going to and I’ll dm you my FULL recommendations list 🥰🫶🏻
