Happy pancake day! 🥞
Here are mine from the weekend, because I have to work the late shift tonight and won't get any 😭
Go on then - let's see yours...

Here's a little something to cheer you up at the start of the week!
"I can't have Donald Trump as a bald orange guy, can I?" 🤷‍♀️

"We're not all terrorists, we're integrated, but we're still not accepted in London."

Here I am presenting a workshop on Facebook groups at the Behind Local News conference last month!
Really enjoyed it and I hope other journalists found it useful 🤓

Great news to start the week - I've hit 1,000 likes on my Facebook page 👀
Thanks for all the support, I'm pretty sure I don't even know 1,000 people!

Now this has been something which has obviously been keeping me up at night since starting at My London, so I decided to write a story about it.
The dictionary says 'Croydonian', but what's right? 🤔

Did I mention I was on TV? Didn't think so 🤔
Here's the clip, if you'd like to watch it! I'm discussing how local journalists tackle the growing issue of fake news.

Had a pretty exciting evening making my TV debut talking about fake news as My London's social media editor 📺
Thanks Channel 5 News for inviting me to the studio!

Fantastics. Congratulations to my colleagues over at the Manchester Evening News

Shocking story to be working on this evening.

I promise I'm not obsessed with IKEA's Swedish meatballs...
