We have a favour to ask. Tens of thousands of people rely on Bella for independent journalism with a critical edge. We have no big-backers, remain ad-free and don’t hide behind a paywall. We set our own agenda and provide analysis that’s free from commercial and political influence. Support us here to defend indy media for the future. Thanks.

How I laughed at your brilliant ..mean ..funny and truthful take on this crazy world we inhabit.
You’re looking good…keep it up!
And yes I have donated..and exhort( new word I learned) all to gie Bella money..NOW!
I miss my dose of vitriol from you…..
Brilliant. You’re more organised than me: you’ve got actual books! Hope to be sharing my sick scribbles again some day over the rainbow, if I can remember how to do it! Where’s a millionaire when ye need one?!….oh they’re too busy being politicians! X
Hi Lorna
Just lovely to see you, looking gorgeous I may say….hope you are feeling a good deal better…I have been fortunate and avoided you know what despite my senior years. No longer Alba woman …inappropriate for me at this time!
Remember Lorna, Fortune favours the Brave and boy you are so brave. I will light a candle that financial good fortunes follows soon for you.
When is the painting going up for auction? Love ❤️ It…beautifully drawn as ever. Alice
