“Still active on Insta as @thesocialgardener – a nature/news adjacent pootle around my brain.”

In a big career move, she’s heading back to university to study psychological sciences and aims to do a doctorate.

“So I – at the grand old age of 39 – going back to university.
“I am enrolled in a full-time masters course, psychological sciences, which I’ve kind of sold to my parents as a bit of neuroscience with some thinking and feeling stuff attached to it.
“You can probably understand why that would appeal and be something I’m interested in.
“Should that all go well and I’m not terrible at it, I’ll be looking to progress and do a doctorate.
“Perhaps four years from now you’ll be looking at Dr Valentine.”
