28 today! This time last year I was in a proper mental health crisis, today I’m feeling the best I have done in years. Thanks to my awesome medical team and partner 😊 🎈

It was on the road with Gail’s and Taylor’s. Luckily nothing was coming the other way!

Not something you see everyday: someone reversing down a one way road to get a parking spot.

Thank you for your hard work!

I once went on a writing retreat here. Was a very wonderful and quirky experience. Distinctly remember someone outside hula hooping in the freezing cold weather 😅

Surgery was a success but was in hospital longer than anticipated. Very tiring going up everyday. Now looking after him at home.

Delighted to have my partner Ben home after a tough recovery from colorectal surgery. Thank you to all the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Churchill hospital in Oxford who looked after him.

I’m so glad they have some benefit Charlotte! 💚 You will be my point of contact next time I have a clothes tear.

Beautiful flowers from my mum, in laws, and friend Sabrina for passing my DPhil last week. Surreal opening presents with ‘Dr’ on.
