I just love Radio 4. Today I was listening to Desert Island Discs and the guest was Kelly Holmes. It's hard to imagine someone with whom I'd expect to have less interest, yet I found this ex-army, army-loving athlete rather inspirational.

Kelly sounds incredibly positive but has been so depressed and messed up that she has actually self-harmed and cut herself. She has achieved her ambitions to be an Olympic winner and now wants to inspire everyone to take up sport at their own level. She just sounds so content with life and full of joy.

She also chose two songs I've never heard but really liked. One was by Destiny's Child (very modern for me!) called 'Independent Woman' and the other was Heather Headley (never heard of her...) singing 'Always Been Your Girl'

I just love the serendipity of Radio 4...
