Selection of recipes it’s possible to make: 4/5 Ease of cooking: 3/5 Layout: 3/5 My personal score: 3/5 Not a what you can find in the back of the cupboard/fridge type of cook book, unless you have a very well stocked larder! Because of that I am more likely to reach for this book on … Continue reading Cookbook review – Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes

With loads of questions about how the hell we are meant to survive for 12 weeks without going out ❌ but no supermarket delivery slots available, no real clarity as to when prioritisation of these will happen 🚚 and the shelves bare in many shops 🛒 I know lots of people are feeling a little nervous about the food situation right now especially with the need to maintain weight...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been, and will continue to, update my blog with all the recipes I’ve made up, you can find them on the recipes tab on my insta too and while I’m no chef if you have any questions about what you can cook with something you’ve dug out of the back of the cupboard or might not normally use please just drop me a DM and I will try and help ♥️...

Today I was incredibly honoured to have my story, and ride, featured in @telegraphwomenssport sup 📰 ... not somewhere I expected to be sitting 3 years post transplant and with the recent diagnosis of chronic rejection! Anyway, obviously I have gone on about my upcoming charity bike ride 🚴🏻‍♀️ a fair amount so anyone reading who has followed my story for a while (thank you) is probably already aware of my initial intentions...and obviously the whole world is aware of the current pandemic we are dealing with and living through 🦠 My plan regarding the options for the ride is to re assess in a couple of weeks (and hope for a miracle) but it looks like a modified plan might have to kick in should government guidance remain the same. A couple of ideas at the moment are: • Still doing the ride as planned route wise, just with 🧔🏻 rather than a support group/other people , on the 12th • Doing the ride but modifying the route somewhat to avoid any areas which may be more crowded and of a higher risk • On the 12th riding the distance on a turbo trainer or similar in our garden should the situation be escalated in terms of risk even further and it would be unsafe on the roads • Doing one of the above and then re organising a more communal ride later in the year, maybe in September for Organ Donation Awareness Week, when hopefully the coronavirus risk has been removed. My plan for now is to keep training, early in the morning ⏰ to minimise contact with people on the bike 🚲 and with more general fitness at home 🏠 . It’s important for me to do at least some form of challenge, if at all possible, as planned on the 12th so please do keep supporting ♥️ It may not be the challenge planned but if I’ve learnt anything in the last almost 31 years it’s that life is never predictable and it’s all about making the best of the situation and rolling with the punches 👊🏼

Okay, so last nights government announcements has filled many within the chronic community with fear and anxiety over what the next weeks and months might hold. Social isolation isn’t something any of us would choose but if it will keep us safe then we need to take it seriously. I get the fear completely but while we wait for further information from our teams, doctors and those who know what they’re talking about let’s try and come up with some positive things we might be able to get done that can serve as a bit of a distraction in the next twelve (or however many) weeks... it’s not going to solve the situation but it might make us feel a little less alone if we all know we are going through this together. I’ll start then please add any suggestions in the comments below so we can inspire and support each other... I’m going to try to: • do some more home yoga classes and try to nail some of the flows 🧘🏻‍♀️ • read some books (and actually finish them) 📖 • get up to date with my photo album Ing 📕 • keep training for my bike ride, whether that be with early morning rides or on the turbo trainer in the garden 🚲 ...

Lets face it...the perfect Friday! Staying in, find a good film, crack open a bottle of wine and have a floor picnic with 🧔🏻. No pressure, PJs (and Sid 🐶) Who’s with me?!?
