I am nearing completion of my AMA and my mentor's support has been invaluable. I'll hopefully be able to give back and be a mentor in the future!

It's my birthday eve and West Yorkshire is giving lockdown vibes...snow/ice has blocked our car, road like an ice rink, no bin collections, all schools locally closed, lots of places closing up. We've been eating random things from the freezer. Down to -12 next few days with amber alert 😭😬
