As lockdown eases, I am enjoying getting back into the countryside and seeing some of the beautiful sites in the UK. The National Trust has been a big part of this. As a member, the opportunity to visit sites and support the organisation during tough times means a lot. The National Trust has been a part of life since I was a baby, so I wanted to reflect on my time as a member and show that no matter your age, the National Trust can benefit you no matter who you are.

We are all thinking the same. March 2020 has gone on for an eternity. It’s hard to remember a month that wasn’t March.

March 2020 marks a year since I have been living with Crohn’s disease. Well, I probably had it for longer, but it decided to make its presence known a year ago.

Here’s my take on some of the common misconceptions about IBD and hopefully provide some clarity from my perspective. Read more

Hello there! It’s been a while since I last wrote a blog post, which was not my intention.

Then again, I think we can all agree that 2020 has not gone to plan for any of us.

I felt like before I could publish any other ‘normal’ posts, I wanted to write about my feelings. Read more

Happy March everyone! Various negative events have filled the headlines recently, not to mention the weekend storms February brought us. I’m sure we all need some springtime positivity.
