A little bit of a personal post today, as it’s the start of Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, a cause which has become very close to my heart over the past year. I’ve not been one to shy away from cervical screenings – aka smear tests – in the past but, what with the pandemic and all the lockdowns, my latest screening (in mid-March 2022) probably ended up being just over a year late. I didn’t think anything of it
Despite starting the new year in yet another national lockdown, I do hope you’ve been able to find some joy and merriment over the holiday season. The start of this year feels like no other. None of the new year optimism and resolve I usually muster as the new calendar page is turned.
