Long time, no speak It’s been a while! Hi, hello and how are you? Firstly, a little life update from me… I’m eight months into a full-time job role working as Head of Digital & Communications at a University Students’ Union. After 146 funerals it was time to take a Read more…
I’ve been mulling over another feature I’d like to start on the blog and I would love to know your thoughts. I thought about calling it ‘I wish more people would talk about…’ but actually I think perhaps there are some topics which are talked about a lot but there’s Read more…
I’ve been on the radio a few times recently; last month I was on discussing contraception and whether we should share pictures of our kids on social media. I hadn’t written about that yet because a) life is hectic and b) I think I still haven’t quite processed it yet! Read more…
