Had so much fun #improvquilting at @exetersewing today with Nicholas Ball! Even managed to get in some offcuts from my #greentrousers 😘

One year on from my first day of this MSc Occupational Therapy adventure, and the first day of Year 2. Honoured the occasion with the same post-university walk down to the beautiful Wembury beach. #MeaningfulOccupation #OccupationalTherapyStudent #MScOccupationalTherapy

@drkathrynmannix As an OT student interested in working in palliative care I am finding your book so interesting and helpful on many levels - so thank you!

[Heather Firby @heatherfirby]

Treated myself this #NationalReadABookDay to this beautifully written and thought-provoking book by @drkathrynmannix - thoroughly recommend! #LiveWellDieWell

[Heather Firby @heatherfirby]

Always enjoy a thought-provoking visit to @ExploreWellcome - this exhibition exploring the experience on chronic illnesses is certainly well worth a visit. So important to promote conversations around these subjects. #wellcomecollection #misbehavingbodies

On the final piece of my jumper for mikeladhams 🤗 ... has taken a bit of a backseat alongside my Woolly Minded knits, but I’m getting there 😂
