Last week I had the best treat (birthday present 🎁) of going to see Moulin Rouge, the musical at Piccadilly Theatre. It was beyond fabulous in every way. The soundtrack was better than I could have imagined. I'm a huge fan of the film so was worried I had too high expectations but I definitely did not. If you have the opportunity get yourself there. I just want to shout about this somewhere 💃🏼🎶

Autumn 🍂 it feels like autumn is in the air this week and the Derwent Walk has been looking gorgeous! I love it when the weather is just a little bit cooler but the sun is shining bright. ☀️ Hope you all have nice plans this weekend.

Grieve how YOU need. Grief is personal, it has no time limit, there are no rules. Whether you're recently bereaved or it happened a long time ago it's perfectly okay to be struggling as a result of the national mourning taking place now. Look after yourself, the following organisations offer support and advice about grief in different circumstances. Reach out if you're struggling.

Lush trip to on Saturday for some weekend reading. Nice to spend time appreciating the nice weather with some good books.

We all know I love a picture book. This is such a lovely book to share with younger children to reflect on the pandemic by , it gives an opportunity to think about the things that we might like to keep in our lives from the last year. A reminder of what's important. I've been preparing for the Girls' Brigade group I'm a leader at to go back in person since before the pandemic and we've bought a copy of the book for each family to have and plan on using it as a conversation/activity starter. You can have a listen to the story on YouTube but I would recommend the beautifully illustrated book. 🌍📚

Forest Bathing - a funny phrase, nothing to do with having a bath, everything to do with the benefits of immersing yourself in nature. I love a woodland walk, particularly at quiet times of day, it's so peaceful to sit and listen to nature. The way the light dances between the trees doesn't really happen on other walks and it's so pretty! I'm lucky to live in the north east of England where there are tons of woodland walks - have a look on for places near you, they also have a great page on Forest Bathing and mindfulness.

International Nurses Day has fallen this Mental Health Awareness Week which was a good opportunity to chat both had I not had an extra tiring couple of weeks at work so I missed the boat a bit! Being a mental health nurse, particularly in the last year, is tough, complicated and tiring BUT it is a privilege and a blessing. The job is unlike anything else, there are always different bits and bobs I never thought would be part of the job that pop up, always a new challenge. I get to use my creative brain most days, which I absolutely love. The privilege of being with someone in their most difficult times but also be able to support them through it and see them reclaim parts of their life is indescribable. People's strength and trust will always teach me new things.

Tap tap tap...writing up learning from today. It was an absolute dream to be able to take two weeks off work to LEARN. The opportunity doesn't come around often and yes I used annual leave but it has worked wonders with reminding me of all of my interests and values. I'm now collating notes from the whole team, putting all of the learning together.

Shout out to the value of Relax Kids. Parents, you don't need any special skills to be able to do some meditation with children, the Relax Kids books are particularly good at giving you some tips on how to read mediations with children. The books have lush illustrations and I find the different themes of the meditations are really good. Meditation helps with self-esteem, anxiety, generating positivity, having more relaxing bedtimes, reduce stress and many more benefits!

Currently reading and really enjoying It's All In Your Head. I decided to read it for work, feeling like I needed to broaden my understanding of psychosomatic illness (it's definitely ticking that box) but I'm finding it just generally really interesting. We all have different "relationships" with our health for different reasons and this book explores that more, it examines why some somatic symptoms are deemed acceptable to us and others less so. Totally fascinating, health professionals get reading, we must get better at how we talk to people about this
