March is Endometriosis awareness month, a horrendous disease that affects so many woman to varying significant degrees and causes much trauma through the lack of awareness and diagnosis. I'd urge my contacts to read this thread journalling their horrendous journey of misdiagnosis

[Les 🌈🦄 @Bongo_Lez]

1/48 Today is 1st March & is the start of endometriosis awareness month. I don't post much on here but thought I'd share my story about how endometriosis destroyed my life & the NHS,Government & media have absolutely no interest in improving the care and services offered to women

Yesterday, soldiers from DM Kineton took part in Birmingham Poppy Day with the @PoppyLegion, selling poppies to raise money for the #PoppyAppeal. This was part of a wider effort by HQ West Midlands Brigade and contributed towards raising £23,500 for the Royal British Legion. 👏

Really proud of our excellent apprentices and colleagues at Beith, and wonderful to see them be recognised by MinDP

🎙️ “They’ve done a fantastic job and they’re also meeting a huge need for our country.”

Defence Minister Jeremy Quin on the importance of having complex weapons manufactured, maintained & stored in the UK, and the role DE&S apprentices play in fulfilling this need at DM Beith.

Sad to be saying farewell to an excellent mentor and brilliant leader @PermSecMOD who leaves MOD to become NSA. Proud to have been your mentee and thank you for all of your support and advice. Richie.

[David Williams @PermSecMOD]

.@irelandrichie: That concludes my day of shadowing. Final meeting was a collaborative board between MOD & OGDs. Amazing to see the cross-cutting support at the strategic & op. levels. Very grateful to Stephen & his fantastic outer office for giving me this amazing opportunity.

@Joss_Durnan When i had my clubby estate, Lesley was certain I should have painted it Jobby Brown... I couldn't bring myself to do it. Is your Mk1 far from being on the road?

[Richie Ireland @IrelandRichie]

@rogerxhutton I'm pleased to hear it, Roger. Yes I'm keeping well, and staying busy! Always have plenty to do 😁

[Richie Ireland @IrelandRichie]

Today, I'm at my old school to get my first dose of the vaccine... The Vaccine programme is going really quickly here, a huge well done to all involved in its delivery

[Richie Ireland @IrelandRichie]

@SeanAllmark1 I don't get on twitter much these days, but I'm sorry to hear you're still unwell. I hope you are able to get a path to recovery soon.

Have a picture of one of our doggos crashed out, on top of me, crashed out too after a long day of virtual meetings, to bring some cheer 😁
