Lentil Bolognese with Gluten Free Pasta This recipe is an absolute classic! It has been adapted from a lentil ragu recipe I found on the BBC Good Food website so I can’t take any credit for it. The adaptions make it a little more MS friendly. When I first started following the Mediterranean diet, I… Continue reading Lentil Bolognese

The Future of MS Care
So, I have just completed a questionnaire from the amazing ShiftMS forum. All about the future of MS care. Basically the whole questionnaire was asking how I would feel if all the medical MS services I use were to stop being face-to-face and become telephone or online services. To say I was furious was an… Continue reading The Future of MS Care
Lockdown 2.0
Well, who would have thought we would be spending November hibernating like bears? It's a funny old one this time, I didn't see it coming. Non essential shops being shut again, restaurants closed, everyone back to working from home. Word of the year 'furlough' scheme being reinstated. Between me and you, I am relieved that… Continue reading Lockdown 2.0
Spring Vegetable Chowder
This week's recipe is a Spring Vegetable Chowder. It doesn't look overly appetising but it tastes lovely! I promise! What I like most about it is that everyone will like it making in a different way, which makes it fun to share in a blog post. The vegetables in it are green, so use your… Continue reading Spring Vegetable Chowder
Living in Lockdown
Hi everyone, it has been a while! Sometimes I can't even believe what has happened. A global pandemic, a deadly virus sweeping the globe, and the Prime Minister actually shutting down shops and schools and telling us we cannot leave the house? It sounds like something from a book...War of the Worlds comes to mind.… Continue reading Living in Lockdown

What incredible sources of knowledge they are. I have found many amazing recipes in these magazines. Some of them need… Continue reading Apricot, Pear and Orange Flapjacks
#30before30
So, don't tell anyone but I can now say that I will be 30 next year! NEXT YEAR! Granted, I need to get 29 out of the way first but still, next year?!?!? The thing that makes me laugh the most is that I do not feel anywhere near like a grown up yet. My… Continue reading #30before30
The A to Z of MS – Part 2
Here is Part 2 of my A to Z of MS. I really hope it has explained what it is like living with MS and made some of you readers out there feel a little less alone. It was lovely to hear some stories about it via Instagram too.
The A to Z of MS – Part 1
Over on my Instagram account @manchesterspirit I have been doing the #AtoZofMS, posting a letter on each day of July, well, with some exceptions because it is me and I am forgetful! The aim of this was to create a comprehensive guide to MS, from the view point of helping someone who has just been… Continue reading The A to Z of MS – Part 1
The A to Z of MS
I have been thinking for a while about doing one of those challenges you see so often on social media. Something based around posting everyday and MS obviously.

So I… Continue reading The A to Z of MS
