Carol Thatcher Quotes

I arrived in the camp having thrown up more than I ever had, so somebody said drink some water. We went to our respective beds and the bush toilet was a long way away and the kerosene lamp had gone out. So I did what any camper does and thought I'll just step this way closer to the bushes and go to the loo - slightly forgetting that everything was recorded and on infra-red camera. I was extremely unwell and thought that rather than throw up over camp I'd go for a quick wee-stop in the jungle.

Carol Thatcher told journalists "I would just like to say that I feel just like anyone else who has just lost a second parent. It’s a deeply sad and rather thought provoking landmark in life. My mother once said to me ‘Carol, I think my place in history is assured.’ The magnificent tributes this week, the wonderful words of President Obama to others from colleagues who once worked along side her have proved her right. An enormous personal thank you to all the people who have sent me messages of sympathy and support. These have given me strength but I know that this is going to be a tough and tearful week even for the daughter of the Iron Lady. Thank you very much.
