Better Days Blog: In Time…
Hello Everyone I hope you are all well – and Happy Friday. I am very ready for it this weekend. Tomorrow, 27 March, represents 15 years since I started working in the civil service. It doesn’t seem that long, but at age 37 its strange to think 15 years equates to large chunk of my…
Get Active Blog: Moving on up
I took a long weekend last week to give myself a little headspace, but also to give myself an opportunity to drive out and run somewhere different. I am glad I did. I ran around a country park, around a beautiful lake and through the woods. The change of scenery was really refreshing after months…

Better Days Blog: KitKat
Meet KitKat. She is nine years old and has been my cat since September 2015. She is a special needs cat and requires a lot of careful attention. She also has anxiety, which can exacerbate the situation too. That is something we have in common. Caring for KitKat can be very challenging at times, but…
MIDWEEK: Blog and News Round Up
So its Wednesday again, time for the midweek blog and round up. What does inclusion mean to you? That is a question I’ve been thinking about lately. It is not necessarily something that can easily be measured on a large scale. I feel its often that comes down to the individual, how they act and…
