Look who I met up with, by chance, in San Sebastián, Spain, yesterday! Soo Downe, for those of you who don’t know her, she’s a professor of midwifery. And my buddy and advocate.
Soo is cycling with her partner, and happened to be close by. Incredible. We had two hours of non-stop chatter.

‘We have a national crisis. Some call it a perfect storm. If midwifery-led services are scaled back, more women will be referred to obstetric-led units unnecessarily’.

Wearing my gifted #BeMoreLaura hoodie reminded me of the evening I met Laura’s parents and listened to their journey of love and loss - and courage.
What a family ❤️

Gosh I’ve not been keeping up with posting here - too many platforms!
Is there not a poll function here, so I can ask questions?

The women in this photo are my older sisters. We were five girls. I never experienced gender inequality - I wasn’t even aware of it. I now know something different but because of them I’m totally able to be who I want to be, without prejudice, most of the time. This is my sister’s wedding. I am 10

It’s one of those photos taken in a photo booth called a Photomaton. 1971 & I’m meeting my French penpal for the second time - we are both 15.
Genevieve is still my dear friend & her family and ours are forever entwined! I am so grateful that we chose each other a lifetime ago!
Quelle chance 🌟

In London for the @midwiferyforum.bsky.social tomorrow…we walked a few miles in the rain - sometimes arriving in places we didn’t expect. It was fab!
Oh the joys of being a midwife 👏🏽🌟💕

It’s my sister Anne’s 80th birthday next week and on Tuesday I spent the day with her and gave her a foot and leg massage. Better than a material gift. My other sister Eileen cooked delicious food for us all.
Being together is the most important thing - as time passes we cherish each moment.

When you’re invited to a 60s birthday party and the theme is ‘old age’ - and you’re old already- it’s a challenge. But I think we managed?

We walked from Long Preston to Settle - what a treat…me and my sister and our men. As we grow older we feel more and more grateful for any precious time together. Look at those hills!
