As I’m waiting for my car to be looked over, I’ve found a lovely spot to enjoy the changing nature around me 🍁🍂🥮
Today I’m in Tamworth Castle grounds and I love this time of year when the leaves are changing colour and it’s not too cold to sit outside for a while listening to all of the sounds around me

I haven’t finished this yet, but I’m sure it won’t be long 👍

A throwback to one of our favourite images from last year's World Federation for Music Therapy photo competition 😍 Marina Raidt-Altunashvili of Georgia was awarded third place with this wonderful image of a young, joyful Music Therapy participant playing drums. What a beautiful moment!

Sometimes plans change 🤷‍♀️
This morning I set out to attend an experiential sensory discovery day training session near London but unfortunately due to train cancellations and delays I was unable to attend
Sometimes these things happen but when faced with a difficult decision, I made the choice to return home and spend time in the beautiful sunshine and look to do some further reading and research with my time
I will look to re-book the training as it was going to be such an informative day 🙂
