By mleslie2 21/05/2021 21/05/2021 0

I hope you all, like me, enjoyed the spring Mental Health newsletter that was circulated during Mental Health Awareness Week by our Mental Health First Aider team.  If you missed it, here is a link – https://sway.office.com/Li3TO3IdQYfnGpF7?ref=email.  It’s a great read, so do have a look.

Healthy Eating Week – best lunch in ages!

By mleslie2 01/10/2020 01/10/2020 2

The Good Life!

By mleslie2 07/05/2020 07/05/2020 5

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love fresh garden peas, straight from the pod.  I get ridiculously excited when they first appear in the shops, and eat them by the bagful.  I never cook them – they never get as far as the pot!  I can remember my …
