I think you’ll agree with me when I say 2020 has been a tough year. Not only on a collective level, but a personal level. We’re all living through these experiences, yet have different personal ramifications financially, personally and professionally. A hugely important support network for me during lockdown and subsequent months has been the […]
MoreI’m going to begin this post by saying how good I am feeling. My health is still rubbish, but in myself I am feeling so much happier. This, in part, is due to some hard work and medication, but also the unconditional support offered by many of you. Thank you. I have been in need […]

MoreA lot has happened over the last three months, some are very positive changes. Firstly, I want to say thanks so much everyone who signed, shared and retweeted the petition.

MoreHello! I’m back on here, finally! I have been having problems with my hands, which I’m not going to talk about because the last month has otherwise been lovely. The meds space me out, my hands are numb and sore – but that’s it. Meh. Moving on… At some point in 2018 my first poetry […]
