Casting Directors - I think I'm from the same eccentric family as the wonderful Sophie Willan from Alma's Not Normal.

If you're casting for a comedy series, I'd love to get the chance to submit a tape.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all past vegans who paved the way to make things so much easier and accessible for me to enjoy vegan food so easily today 🙏🏻

Wish I’d taken this path years ago.

And no, I don’t miss cheese or bacon, and yes, I am getting enough protein 😃

Have all my hats on today. This morning spent doing my PTA chair duties, organising fund raising and trying to meet childrens’ needs. This afternoon, a script in hand walking through text. This evening, a webinar for health and wellbeing in radiography.
