One of my many hats is to Chair this group. It is my local park and it's not that many years ago that it was in a very sorry state. It still has its issues (plant theft and vandalism largely) but it is very well used and has a group of dedicated volunteers to support its improvement.

More plans are in the making...

We got level 4 - thriving in RHS - Royal Horticultural Society Britain in Bloom!
Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen.

Don't let the food industry have the final say on whether children can buy energy drinks.

Have your say - deadline is next week.

On Wednesday I had the privilege to attend this group.

I talked about what being a Christian meant to the work I do, and what creating a positive Christian food environment at home looked like in theory and in practice.

I love my job and being a Christian is a key part of my identity and the way I live life. It was lovely to have the chance to talk about these things together.

If you are a new mum and want to connect with other Christians and be able to pray together and encourage each other, why not join them. Free online - 1 hour a week.

*NEW ARTICLE*

I write quarterly for a paediatric nutrition hub aimed at furthering the knowledge of health professionals who work with children. This month's article is all about oily fish.

It was really interesting to research. This bit was particularly shocking. "In January 2005, the cost of 1kg of salmon fillets was £8.51; by January 2025, it had risen to £19.54 per kilo. In comparison, a whole oven-ready chicken went from £2.27 to £3.78 per kilo over the same period."

How often are you able to include oily fish in your diet?

Let's stay safe. Thanks to the wonderful people at the Child Accident Prevention Trust who shared this engaging infographic last year.

I'm back! I have had a few days away from social media because of Halloween. My feed has been full of posts which don't help me sleep and make my stomach turn so I took a break.

I respect people's right to celebrate but it's not for me. But now I am back with lots more posts planned for nutrition tips to get us through the shorter days.

This week I am working on a project around school meals, I'll be seeing clients, delivering a First Foods Course and attending a conference in Reading. Busy week!

Book a train ticket and come and join me to learn more about delivering 1-1 consultations.

Here is what a participant on the last course said

"As a really good opportunity to develop or gain practical experience on how to initiate the nutrition consultancy with clients. It also included methods and important points on how to make sure that the client maintains working on their goals and what to do/ say when the client achieved their goals and no longer needs more guidiance. It was professional, practical and covered this extensive topic very efficiently. " (Nina)

If you can't join me in person, don't worry, this is a hybrid training so you can join me online too.

Another warning to make sure you buy weight loss medication from reputable sources, if you buy them at all (see my previous article on other things to consider)

The first illicit production facility for weight loss medicine found in the UK is dismantled.
