It was inspiring to hear from him and his wife about his recovery, how it had affected him, how close he came to not making it, and, perhaps most pertinently, how difficult it was for his wife to have to watch him go through it. The podcast reminded me of a visit I made recently to meet Helen Fairweather, chief executive of Headway, Suffolk. Helen is passionate about the brain. As she said to me: "We all have one!" which means the charity's work is relevant to all of us.

My oldest bear is nameless.
