I noticed that there were a lot of these delicious berry colours in the garden today, so I made this photo (includes blackberries obvs). As ever, images of plants reduce anxiety & can lift mood, so zoom in to the details if you have a spare moment 🌿🍒

The number of young people undergoing treatment or waiting to start care in CAMHS reached 466,250 in May. The highest number on record. These young people could fill Wembley Stadium, five times over.

@RishiSunak, this is an emergency.

We all have emotions. Expressing them isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength.

This is a mental health emergency. Young people urgently need help. And right now, they’re not getting it. We need preventative action and early intervention – we need to stop young people from reaching crisis point in the first place. https://t.co/ONqQqDucbN

This is why talking about your feelings matters

3.5 days painting. Today task was painting 2 freehand circles, which is a bit like the Theory of Relativity because it is not true circle I wanted to paint, but those look like circles on 3D surfaces. Tired.
