YES! "Session Zero would be the part at the very beginning of the project, where everyone involved shared their hopes and aspirations for the study, as well as discussing things they might prefer not to discuss, or boundaries they want to set" @elspethma.bsky.social @louca-mai.bsky.social

A photo collage: a 70s mother with a toddler in her lap in a sunny pub garden, a black and a white lamb in a barn with their mother and a magnolia tree in full bloom with pink blossom behind and red and white flowers below

A beautiful weekend full of sunshine, flowers and some baby lambs 🌞🌸🌷🐑.
Yesterday was 20 years since my mother died so this mothering Sunday was tinged with sadness, but I'm so glad I could fill it with things she (and I) loved - including afternoon tea 💞
