The best night seeing @JasonManford I first saw him in live in 2011 I was then fortunate to meet him in Afghanistan in 2013 and have met and seen him numerous times since. He is genuinely hilarious, relatable and not afraid to shut down a heckler #comedy #hilarious #mustsee β™₯️

New blog post about my #menopause journey. Things are ramping up and it's important we keep the conversation going and reduce the stigma. Yet another completely natural part of a woman's journey through life. #Blog #woman #journey aqua-mum-adventures.com/blog…

Let’s #BantheBand It's time for a shift in how we refer to NHS staff. Calling colleagues by their band can create unnecessary hierarchies and overlook the incredible contributions everyone makes. Let’s create a culture of respect and collaboration where every voice is valued #NHS
