Dad’s rose has burst into life and has grown absolutely huge this year. A reminder that beautiful moments can follow sadness 🧡
David Austin Roses ‘The Lark Ascending’ - a gift from lovely friends almost 3 years ago now. It also smells beautiful and flowers all summer long 🥰
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 💜
If you’ve ever stepped into a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), you’ll know it’s full of the most incredible, strong, and inspiring women.
Today, we celebrate you all. 🙏🏾
You are incredible 🌟
My little snow angel from Maggie O’Farrell’s ‘Where Snow Angels Go’. Was so pleased to find she had written some children’s books too - we also love ‘The Boy Who Lost His Spark’ - and the language is just as beautiful as her adult books ❤️ 📚

There are now 100 Prem Aware Schools across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
💜 This is incredible.
A huge thank you to each and every one of our 100 schools for committing to support children born prematurely.

Delighted to share that I am now a ‘Prem Aware’ ambassador for @_SmallestThings 💜 With a primary school age child born at 26 weeks currently going through the education system I understand first hand how beneficial an improved understanding of prematurity would be. (1/4)
I’m excited to start talking to local schools (primary and secondary) and early years settings about this free award scheme, sharing the research and helping improve awareness and understanding of the lasting effects preterm birth can have on education and learning. (3/4)
