Only 3 days left to visit Hatch Somerset’s latest exhibition JOURNEYS, & to find The White Cello in the secret Somerset barn! 🎻
Put on the headphones, listen to the music & poetry, & maybe you’ll relate to the need to make time for yourself 🤍
Thanks for your lovely feedback about it yesterday.

Dr. Richard Shepherd is the UK's leading forensic pathologist. Having carried out over 24,000 autopsies, he has investigated some of the world’s most high-profile cases, from the Hungerford Massacre to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
