Really enjoying getting out for our daily walk at Really enjoying getting out for our daily walk at the moment; so so grateful for the mental break of getting out the house and being able to explore the stunning area a bit more after moving here back in the autumn! 🥰 So lucky to have such beautiful open space and such lovely walks within walking distance of the house! 😍👫🏼
The family opposite made this sign just in time fo The family opposite made this sign just in time for #ClapForOurCarers the other night - definitely made me smile! 😊 Really feeling a lovely sense of community coming out of this crisis - a silver lining I guess - people smiling & saying “hi” when out walking (while maintaining social distancing of course!), thanking the postman/woman, acknowledging the hard work that the supermarket staff are doing, and of course that incredibly moving moment of nationwide applause for the NHS the other night! 🥰 To me, it really feels like a community coming together at a time when it feels like everything else is falling apart, and that is definitely worth celebrating! 😍
I’ve tried several times in the last few days to I’ve tried several times in the last few days to find words to go on these squares and have failed every time. - With everything that is going on at the moment, every caption I wrote seemed so futile, every image seemed blasé and non-sensical. - Everyone in the NHS is working their backsides off at the moment, managing new guidance and new protocols alongside a virus we are trying to control and the teams I work in are no exception. We are all overwhelmed and both physically and mentally drained. I’ve had several shifts where I’ve come home and had a bit of a cry on Matt’s shoulder, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that. - If you know anyone who works in the NHS at the moment, send them a note or a message, give them a call, anything to check in on them and make sure they are ok (while maintaining social distancing of course!) Without doubt they are exhausted, drained, struggling with the risk of potentially exposing themselves and their families to the virus to care for those in need. It’s really tough. - Personally, this is certainly not what I was expecting in my first year of being a qualified midwife, but I’m trying to pull out all the stops, working hard, learning lots and staying afloat thanks to the amazing support of my wonderful fiancé @matt.griff90, both of our families and the fab teams at work - can’t thank them enough! - I’m now going try to use my Instagram as a positive place and bring back my normal content, but I had to write something about it all - it couldn’t go unmentioned and me just carry on as normal - normal seems a long way away at the moment. - Please look after anyone you know in the NHS right now - this is like nothing we have seen before and we are all doing our best! 🥰 - Image by @charliemackesy - absolutely perfect right now.
Today is the publication day for “The Best Most Today is the publication day for “The Best Most Awful Job”, in which twenty writers have written really honestly about motherhood! 📚 I was lucky enough to be sent an early copy and am absolutely loving it! 🥰 Perfect last minute #MothersDay present too (and it would fit through the letter box so you can still be social distancing!)
We had an amazing time axe-throwing at @timberjack We had an amazing time axe-throwing at @timberjacks.club the other weekend - what a laugh! 😂 Full blog post to follow over the weekend! 🪓
Some days just call for a really good steak! 🥰 Some days just call for a really good steak! 🥰 (Unfortunately, this is not today - this was our date night at @millerandcarter last week after my run of night shifts!)
The latest issue of the British Journal of Midwife The latest issue of the British Journal of Midwifery landed on my doorstep this morning - looks like I’m officially a published midwife! 👩🏼‍⚕️🥰 Check out my article on page 66 of January’s issue - all about how it’s the women you care for who teach you the most!
I’ve got a new post out over on the blog - inclu I’ve got a new post out over on the blog - including a video! Eek! 😊 Working Christmas as a Midwife was a new experience for me this year; not necessarily something I would choose to do, but it was festive and it’s certainly part of the job! 👩🏼‍⚕️ Link in bio for blog post & video! Hope you like it! 🤞🏻💋
