A little over a year ago I couldn't walk. This weekend I ran a 10k race!

It may not have been very fast or far to some, but it was a massive step in my recovery post-surgery and I'm still buzzing 🏃‍♀️

Great to speak to new trainees at @newsassociates.bsky.social - and answer some excellent questions!

It's lovely to see so much enthusiasm for the industry and good luck for your course 📖

Some photos from @the-independent.com at Pride in London at the weekend 🏳️‍🌈

Still on a high, but mindful that this is a protest and not just a party - and goes far beyond Pride Month 💪🌈

Such a wholesome day at the Kent Press and Broadcast Awards last week 🏆

It was an honour to be a judge and get to present a trophy, too - local media is still thriving in my old patch and supporting it is so important! 📰
