I had a lovely surprise recently when Tom from The Doubting Thomas nominated me for the Ideal Inspiration Blogger Award. I hadn’t actually heard of this one before, so a huge thank you to Tom for the nomination.

Sunday 21st June was World Music Day, so I thought today I would honour the occasion with a special post. Music plays a pretty big part of my life, as I’m sure it does for all of us.

Enough of which to come up with a full blog series anyway.… Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 1 | School Counselling
I don’t know about anyone else, but despite the fact we’ve been in lockdown for the whole thing, May has actually been a pretty fast month. As of the 1st June, we're allowed to meet in small groups of 6 as long as it's outdoors. Great for those gagging to get the BBQ out, not… Continue reading May 2020 Wrap Up
I’ve seen a few of these posts over the last couple of weeks so I’ve decided to create my own.
