Last night in Devon, a walk at dusk around an secluded reservoir on Dartmoor.

I’d normally hit delete when it comes to any pic

I’d normally hit delete when it comes to any pic of myself in a bikini yet this photo of Tom’s is so painterly it is more like an Impressionist artwork than an Instagram shot. No filter or retouching either - the extraordinary russet colour is River Dart in the sun.

The light fantastic on Dartmoor today. And ponies!

A late night stroll around the ‘hood. One moment

A late night stroll around the ‘hood. One moment a chocolate box cottage, the next a house with mangles in the front garden and dolls’ heads in the window. Then, a cosy pizzeria and a pleading angel. Ambridge this isn’t.

Mother and brother reunited for the first time sin

Mother and brother reunited for the first time since the pandemic, the most lovely of days! Couldn’t resist thrusting her memoir into the shot for a bit of book promo, but really it was all about the chat and the connection. My uncle was on brilliant form as was his wife Ros and I feel grateful and blessed they’re all still here, and that Mum has care team who could help make this happen. #happymonday

Yesterday was a – how shall I put it? – *interesti

Yesterday was a - how shall I put it? - *interesting* day. I joined the team researching links between hyper-mobility and anxiety - a link I first heard about listening to the wonderful #allinthemind on Radio 4 six months ago. I’ve been a bit like a snuffly dog following a scent, and so since hearing the show, with @claudia_hammond_ , tracked down the scientists behind it, only to discover they were based at #sussex Medical School in Falmer - #spooky. I then met Dr Jessica Eccles who’s leading the research for coffee in the Laines, explained I was hypermobile with a history of anxiety, and an author whose book on anxiety has been an indie publishing success. So now, six months later, I’m part of the handful of people who are helping with research and hopefully ascertain links. Yesterday my brain was scanned - for an hour and a half which let me say is INTENSE!! - in a machine like this. This procedure whilst disconcerting, was not unbearable, as the team took great care of me and Sussex uni is full of beautiful wild flower planting like this, which helped me reground afterwards.
All these learnings will be incorporated into the updated version of my book, #makingfriendswithanxiety I am currently putting together, so there will be some #neuroscience as well as #mindfulness. If you suffer from anxiety, watch this space for more updates. #anxietyawareness #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selfhelp #hypermobilitysyndrome #learningeveryday #bendygirl #bendybrain
