When I was giving birth to my third child I remember thinking very clearly how closely this equates to death. Our bodies are doing something that they are going to do, whatever we might do or think. And our only option is to go with the flow as nature does what it will. I remember thinking that in a way it was like dying - nature will have its way and we just have to go with the flow.
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
