A tear ran down

As Jamie and Reagan returned from their evening out, Lincoln and I were halfway through the film Ghost, and all of a sudden, the fact that Reagan couldn’t find her phone charger became the most important thing?

Love is…

“My parents were married for 55 years. One morning, my mom was going downstairs to make dad breakfast, she had a heart attack and fell.

One for the team

Today was a strange day I worked and visited surgeries and people were so sad to hear I am leaving and it felt very humbling but I was also aware that Jamie had a difficult day at work and needed managing…? I know Jamie prides herself on delivering exemplary work and being the best she […]

Doing the rounds

I am being made to feel very humble every day, now that my impending last day at work has become common knowledge. The people I have endeavoured to help every day for the last 13 years seem genuinely sad to hear I’m leaving and would like to see me and wish me well… Which is […]
