It was lovely to drop into the #ParishOfNorton’s #JigsawSale which we’ve been so looking forward to. 🧩 Safe to say we’ve got A LOT of jigsaws to be getting on with over the Christmas period. 💛

I recently attended a quiz for #FriendsofSADA at the #GrangeCommunityCentre. #SADA have personally supported me, and it was incredibly meaningful to stand with them, support their life-changing work, and honour the #16Days of Activism campaign. 💜

Another brilliant Christmas Fair at the Letchworth Educational Settlement this year, which is a true treasure in our town. Lovely to catch up with friends, meet so many talented creatives, and enjoy my first mulled wine of the year! 🎄⛄️❤️

For 16 Days of Activism, County Hall was lit orange to raise awareness of violence against women and girls in #Hertfordshire and around the world. As a VAWG survivor, this cause is very close to my heart and was one of the issues that motivated me to get into politics.

It was great to attend my first Liberal Democrat East of England Regional Conference this weekend in Colchester.
I’m so grateful for the warm welcome I’ve received since joining the Liberal Democrats. I feel that my lived experience and ideas are truly valued, and I genuinely feel at home.

On #ArmisticeDay we pay tribute to those who fought to protect our freedoms and gave their lives in service.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Great turnout today as our town came together for Remembrance Sunday, in honour of all who served and sacrificed.
The parade was excellent, wreaths were laid by a diverse range of local organisations, and it was a privilege to take part by singing hymns with my choir.

It was great to attend the Citizens Advice North Herts AGM, this time in my role as a North Herts Council representative on the Board.
It was good to be updated on the Letchworth Research Project, which focuses on the Grange, Wilbury, Jackmans, and Westbury areas.

🔶🔶 We had a great day out in Letchworth Grange recently, listening to residents’ concerns and gathering views on how to improve our local area. 💬 Your views about our town are really important to me, and these surveys have already led to a lot of casework to address local concerns. 📝

We loved watching the Official Release Party of A Showgirl, celebrating Taylor Swift’s 12th album, at the Broadway Cinema! It was fantastic to see our local cinema hosting such a special event! 🌠

I had my flu vaccination today! 💉💙 I really encourage everyone to check with their GP or local pharmacy about getting theirs too - it’s a simple way to protect yourself, your family, and our community this season. #flujab #Letchworth #NHS

Always have a blast at #Balstock, but this year was extra special with the festival celebrating 20 years, performing with an amazing group of women in the gorgeous St Mary’s Church, and cheering on a friend at her performance! 🎵🎉🎤🥁💜

Had such an incredible time at the New Wine Festival 2025 at the end of July and the beginning of August. ✨ I loved taking a week out to spend with God and have come back spiritually refreshed, creatively recharged, and with a small library!

Such a lovely afternoon at the Parish of Norton’s first Jigsaw Sale today. 🧩 The atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming, we found some real gems among the jigsaw puzzles, and the cheese scone was absolutely amazing! 😍
