I’m on the hunt for a better word than retired. 😃 I’ve left work and claimed my pension but will not be ‘stopping, withdrawing or becoming uncommunicative’. This is when I start again, widening my horizons and engaging with whole new groups of people. Any suggestions? #notretired #juststarting

Today is #WorldEncephalitisDay. If you don’t know what that is, you’re not alone! Three years ago my daughter was struck down by this cruel and sometimes fatal illness that attacks and inflames the brain. She’s back living her life because of timely diagnosis. Awareness matters. 🧠

I’ve had my first #wedding booking for 2026. 💒

I’ll be mother of the #groom! 💍

So celebrating not celebranting this time. 🍾 💕

#CheapTrainers and fresh #snow can be a dangerous combination. Even clinging to husband, I fell over three times on the way home from friends. Now nursing a sore head and leg. Should have listened to the forecast! #BuySnowBoots

This #neversaynever is the last New Year’s Eve I’ll spend in permanent paid employment after a 30+ year career in professional comms.

I hope the projects I’m planning behind the scenes will be successful but who knew being given the opportunity to #fail could be so exciting!

Happy New Year!

Starting my #NewYear resolutions on Day One, Week One of 2025. #1stJan is never the right day for good intentions! #IsItMe 🏃‍♀️⏰

Am delighted to get a shout out this morning! Will be sad when this story ends. 😃🎄

Thank you @cbcreative.bsky.social

Thank you so much @cbcreative.bsky.social I’ve been really enjoying having a go each day and it’s wonderful to actually win a prize! 📚

Just made the mistake of weighing myself well into Christmas feasting. The Bluetooth scales asked if it was really me! 😲🎄🥧🥧🎄🤣

It’s not #Christmas until the 1st #December
