Samantha Barnett strikes a dance pose in her living room in Chislehurst, Kent. She's bursting with energy and keen to show that her life is lived to the max even though she's had Type 1 diabetes for 8 years and wears an insulin pump.
Tears Of A Clown
I spent most of Friday at the clown convention at Butlins in Bognor Regis in the delightful company of Tom Fun a 73 year old welsh clown and Type 2 diabetic. He fed me home-made soup and read me some of his poems. Like his poetry and like all the best clowns he was funny, sad and a little bit disturbing.
