Today is Ectopic Pregnancy Awareness Day.
Before having my ectopic pregnancy, and the life-changing effects it caused - physically and emotionally, I knew very little about ectopic pregnancies.
Please check out @ectopicpregnancy.bsky.social - they have lots of info and support.

Very happy that a new series of @sewingbee.bsky.social has begun… equally happy that I get to show huge amounts of appreciation for Esme’s necklaces.
Love, love, love her necklaces!

40 years ago, with a pack of blank videos at the ready, I set our video recorder to long play to tape Live Aid.
What an extraordinary event and an extraordinary response to human suffering.

A fabulous time at the Eisteddfod yr Urdd this week. It may have been grey and rainy but the vibe was sunny!

In the foyer, there’s a native field maple, which is the focus of an audio project in which young people from across Bristol recorded messages to the beautiful future they want to see.
It also demonstrates the important role and power of the arts in stimulating thinking, conversations, and action.

A family night out at the theatre to watch ‘The Beautiful Future is Coming’ at Bristol Old Vic.
It’s an extraordinarily powerful and thought-provoking play about climate change - the fear and the hope.
And it prompted lots of important conversations with our children.

Massive proud Mum moment.
Over 1,000 pupils across Wales took part in a maths competition and Gruff was 1 of 12 to get the top marks!
He was awarded a prize at a ceremony at the Urdd Eisteddfod yesterday.
So lovely that staff from his school were also there whooping and cheering his success.
