It's National #SelfCareWeek and did you know that loneliness can affect our physical health and mental wellbeing. Advice from the Marmalade Trust is to add micro-connections to your day, shop locally, talk to neighbours and smile at passers-by. It all helps us feel connected. @profmaryh.bsky.social
