She spoke about tolerance and people being tolerant of others if they are different, we have a festival of tolerance every year in our village because John Noyes was burned at the stake 450 years ago. It was a super weekend!

I used to read her column in the Tablet, very sensible woman.

She was very funny commented on our villages sense of tolerance because she walked round our flower festival for ages and no-one told her she had her jacket on inside out!!!

I don't believe in God but I do believe in Libby Purves.

Her book, entitled something like "How (not) to be a perfect mother" was great.
