The following month, doctors broke the news that she had acute myeloid leukaemia. She had no symptoms, she was feeling fine,” explained Paul, 57, who moved with Brenda from Johnstone, Renfrewshire, six years ago to set up home on the Isle of Bute. Paul would travel from the Isle of Bute every Friday, arriving at the hospital at lunchtime – a routine he repeated on a Saturday and Sunday. When it came time for patients’ meals to be distributed, Paul would start to make his way to the canteen – but staff wouldn’t hear of it.

There are so many practical things in it.
