Always like getting these messages after a donation. Now answer me this: if my blood has been to Cornwall but the rest of me hasn't, can I say I've been to Cornwall?
A text history from Blood.co.uk The most recent says, "Thank you so much for donating on 7-Aug. Your donation has now been issued to Derriford Hospital, Plymouth. Every donation counts."

I know we've all had our fill of Northern Lights posts, but it's important we appreciate somebody who's funnier than us

Very privileged to be given a seat at VISION Consortium's Adolescent Domestic Abuse Conference earlier this week.

Truly excellent research was presented that day. Some important conversations were started, and as always I'm inspired by the many intelligent, dedicated women in this field! #polisky

Made my own pico for the first time in a long time. Came out great! Put it on the rest of dinner, roast broccoli and veggie sausage. 🍽️

Hello London! Feeling very lucky to be here. 🌱
