Tried something out my comfort zone tonight…attended a class all on my own, I was always told, at school, I wasn’t creative or any good…we all start somewhere ❤️

Day 1 of Springboard for Women cohort 2. So much energy in the room. Great to have Lynne Shaw open the programme and a positive advocate. Thanks to The Grand Gosforth Park Newcastle as always, great support from Dan and his team today.

Reflection on convo last night, I’ve asked myself ‘what advice would I give my 20 yr old self, knowing what I know now’. Scary looking back 😂 but many good memories. obstacles along the way, relationship changes, dev’t etc. but good times. I know what advice I’d give myself now

Looking forward to a great CNTW Nursing Conference Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS FT at The Grand Gosforth Park Newcastle #CNTWnursing

5 months of missing Alfie, never a day goes by without us missing him. Y’day Benji came to stay with us for weekend, it’s good having a dog in our home again.

Last nights water colour painting class. Found this much harder than previous 2 pieces. Loved it and much needed time for me. Not too bad for my third class…

Sun is shining and we have a great day ahead…MBTI Workshop with colleagues Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS FT
