Living in York, is a great place to reflect on what it means to be 'British'. Founded in 71AD by the Roman Empire, Eboracum was such an important city that two Roman Emperors happened to be here when they died. The multangular tower is largely of Roman construction. @VisitYork

This is such an controversial topic and I faced a lot of judgement for taking antipsychotics in pregnancy (by choice) but guess what? I was mentally stable & well which meant my baby was well.

Why are men such creeps? Giving a lecture in a theatre mostly with floor to ceiling windows. This middle aged guy stops and starts staring at me and smiling. He probably thought it was endearing. I started looking back at him funny so he eventually left all angry. Totally disrupted my lecture 🤦🏻‍♀️
