4 h. ago The kindness of strangers: when my period arrived, a lifeguard quietly put a towel around me

I was only 13 and he was young too, but he somehow knew not to make it a big deal. If he hadn’t helped, it likely would have destroyed my entire holidayRead more in the kindness of strangers seriesIt wasn’t my first period, but it was within the first year of getting my period. I was only 13 years old and, when you first start menstruating, you never know when your next period is going to arrive.I was away on holiday with my family, playing in the hotel pool with some new friends I’d just met.

The Olympic gold-winning diver on wearing tea towels, learning how to grieve and what happens when someone asks if he’d like a glass of wineBorn in Plymouth in 1994, Tom Daley is Britain’s most decorated diver. He was 13 when he made history as Britain’s youngest competitor at the 2008 Olympics, and the following year became a world champion. He won gold at the Tokyo Olympics with his synchronised diving partner, Matty Lee, before retiring from diving in 2024.

The documentary, Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds, is available to stream on Discovery+ from 1 June.I used to be obsessed with wearing tea towels.
