World Mental Health Day 2022.

This morning I chose to walk in nature with the pooch, appreciating the beauty around me. This has put me in a good mind frame for the day. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD2022 #everymindmatters

Saw some lovely local sights on a bike ride today!

Covid has hit the household.... so breakfast Al fresco was the order of the day. The pooch seemed happy with that arrangement!

Tragic news

The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)

Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

I enjoyed my SM break and loved some special family time. I am back, but less often. #selfcare

[Rachel Salmon. She/her @RachelSalmon81]

I have thought long and hard about this, but at present, my life is throwing some curve balls my way and I need to stop, look up, re-focus and ground. I will be back at the beginning of next month. If you need me, WhatsApp me, text me, email me or call.
See you on the other side!

Such a wonderful afternoon!

A useful virtual group that encourages men to talk and be supported. Something I am trying to incorporate more in my day to day job.

[For Men To Talk @ForMenToTalk]

Reminder that our next Virtual Group Meeting is tomorrow (Wed 15 June) at 6pm.

@ForMenToTalk is a chance for men suffering with #anxiety #depression & #grief to talk with other fellow sufferers & improve their #wellbeing. https://t.co/igJQevkS7Q #mentalhealth #ItsOkNotToBeOk

@tes @MaryBoustedNEU This is also while the government are pushing forward a plan to get everyone on tax credits etc who are eligible for free school meals now to go on to universal credit. Does this mean their end goal is no free school meals at all?

8 years on. Still with a huge Paul shaped hole in our lives. Still missing him every single day. It feels like yesterday, yet a lifetime ago since we said goodbye to him, off to a car boot. Little did we know that was our final goodbye. My heart still aches for him, and loves him
