Chloe Hickman was in Westminster on Thursday to hand in a petition she started following her mum Louise's death, calling for a new law - 'Louise's Law' - which would make it mandatory for doctors and other medics to get a second opinion on benign tumours. In June last year, Miss Hickman's mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, five years after doctors initially thought it was a benign cyst, misdiagnosing her. She died aged 47 on June 26, 2024.

This week, I took a trip down to the Farmhouse in Kesgrave with some friends for a spot of food and a drink. I am a big fan of this pub - it's really popular with Kesgrave residents and those living in Ipswich. It's easy to get to, having its own entrance off a roundabout to its car park. The night I went, on Wednesday, June 18, I was expecting it to be busy due to the lovely weather, but on arriving, I had underestimated just how busy.
