Helen, wife, mother, birdwatching geek, ex-town planner, ex-national park policy person, late ND diagnosis, grieving for my former self.

Trying to work out who the f**ck I am without all the labels, and the knowledge that I’m just different not broken.

Determined to make sure my kids don’t have to ever pretend to be something they are not.

This is just a space for me to think out loud about some of the things that seem important to me at the time.

If they get read, that’s a bonus, and thanks. I appreciate the time.

Views are mine, not my employers, and potentially not thought through as much as you’d expect.

Always open to challenge
