Spent yesterday mopping feverish toddler's brow so didn't share this. Two years in and I'm still finding it so difficult to articulate what it means to be a mother: pain, joy, and everything in between. Happy, er, mother's day! @thesundaytimes thetimes.co.uk/article/6ca77…

Good news for package holiday fans, bad news for frequent flyers: the shake-up of BA’s executive club points scheme is a mixed bag | ✍️ @Cathman thetimes.com/travel/inspirat…

Need to read something heartwarming about the US today? This lovely read might help. "The more people I spoke to the more I realised how much they have in common and what a shame it is that such a hospitable country is so stained by its messy politics" thetimes.com/article/4ccedd5…

I went back to Brownsea Island for my third stay recently - this time I took my own famous five and it was a joy. I'm sorry the open-air theatre won't be there next time, but there'll def be a fourth visit. And a fifth, and... @thetimes @timestravel thetimes.com/article/e81db16…

I am always bowled over by the raw and beautiful way @Cathman describes the struggle of early motherhood. She wrote this powerful piece for @CosmopolitanUK for #MaternalMentalHealthMonth cosmopolitan.com/uk/body/a60…

‘I despised my life’: After my son was born, I thought I’d feel lost forever

Why talking about the pain of new motherhood matters
