This week I'm sharing a bit of my Clore Story - where I started and where I am now bravebeeprods.substack.com/p/a-clore-st... If anyone is applying for Clore Emerging Leaders, or is mid application process for the Fellowship or Pulse and would like a chat, I'd be happy to offer support if I can.

Roastie dinner with my parents and my family. Had a little moment half way through cooking for everyone - this is what life is about. Cosy times, roast potatoes and the people you love under one roof. Bloody marvellous.
