What a beautiful venue for my workshop this morning with @fosteringnet . It was a pleasure to deliver the session to a number of carers who are absolutely wonderful at what they do. Their passion filled the room 🥰
Our most popular workshop is running yet again this evening..7pm via Zoom.

We need to be better at updating here!! Have had a busy morning with sessions and an afternoon of podcast recording (will share more details soon). More sessions this afternoon in our lovely little cabin space...we had a reshuffle of layout recently. What do you think?

As I sit here overwhelmed with the emails to respond to I remind myself that the work I do is all for good reason. I received a lovely parcel today from a lovely child I have been working with.
"Thanks for helping me grow". Excuse me while I go and rub this tear away!!
