On Friday, December 3rd 1926, Agatha Christie, one of the greatest mystery writers of all time, creator of such legendary detectives as Poirot and Miss Marple, became the subject of a real-life mystery of her own; A mystery that rivalled anything she had written and one that remains unsolved to this day.

It was 9.45pm on a cold wintery night in 1926. Agatha Christie entered her daughter Rosalind's bedroom, kissed the sleeping child, then walked out of Styles, her Berkshire home, dressed only in a grey cardigan, green knitted skirt and a velour hat, and just... disappeared.

Almost immediately after The Kings Speech was released it was being touted to win every award under the sun. The film was surrounded by hype with many calling it one of the best British films ever made. It’s nowhere near that level but credit must still be given to director Tom Hooper for managing to make a film about the British royal family not only tolerable but both interesting and entertaining.

Diagnosing Christian with type 1 insulin dependent diabetes mellitus was one of my most frustrating and horrific challenges in my life. This is a juvenile diabetes story with a difference and a happy ending, although the journey has been rocky.
We were told if Christian makes it to the age of 5, then he could have a greater chance of surviving and making adulthood. He is 15 now and, through the difficulties, we have reached the light at the end of the tunnel.
