This was the conclusion of last years IBD U.K. report into IBD care in Northern Ireland.

A year later there’s been no movement on making care better for people diagnosed with IBD in NI, our clinics remain understaff with long waiting lists.

It’s does make you question how useful Stormont really is

Fantastic to see a little squirrel sitting on the Kells postbox this morning.

To everyone getting their A-Level results today.

Regardless of what results you receive remember you are so much more than a single set of results & your future is still to be written.

Always be compassionate with yourself.

Such tragic news this morning about Diogo Jota & his brother André Silva.

My deepest condolences to their families, friends, teammates & @lfcr.bsky.social Penafiel supporters as they come to terms with this news.

In a world full of small minds and loud mouths, be the reason someone still believes in kind hearts, beautiful souls and good energy.
Never stop being a good person.

I’m hard to believe that’s it’s already 3 months since my mum passed away.

I hope to carry on her legacy of selflessly helping others & I hope to make her proud every single day.

Love you mum & I miss you every single day.
