Been inspired by Suzi Ruffell the comedian, who takes toys when she goes away on tour. I have beanie baby with me on my overnight work trip so I can send photos to my son. Result is that I look like I have an emotional support animal, but I’m ok with that - he’s good company.

Here’s a beautiful blousy tulip to wish you a Happy Easter ✨🐣🥚

I’m on my way to deliver the first of a series of training sessions for staff on a mental health ward, aiming to reduce empathy-based stress. This is the start of the pilot study that is part of my NIHR clinical academic doctoral fellowship and I am so excited! (And a bit nervous!)

Merry Christmas all! Hope it’s a lovely one ✨

And if it’s not - remember it’s just another day! ❤️
