Just a bit of wind on top of #coombehill this morning! #windyday #scaryhair #weather #bighill #whippetwalk #blowingagale

Look at all these beautiful women. What do they have in common? They’ve all decided to be flat after mastectomy - either uniboobed or completely flat. They’ve all got together in Austin at the #yscsummit19. Makes my heart glad to see them all together & so happy Posted @withrepost • @sondrarprice This picture makes my heart so damn happy, because every single woman in this photo made a decision that was a well-informed decision for HER/THEIR own body. And each one of these women are saying to the world, ‘Here I am. I am happy. I am beautiful. And I am f*•king whole.’ To simply say I love these courageous women would be an understatement. I am inspired by each and every one of them. #wearethedangerousones #bodypositivity #flattiesunite #wearebeautiful and we are #flataf

I know so many inspirational and wonderful women but this one is the most amazing one. I’ve learnt so much from her & she has been there for me over the last three years. I love her to bits #mydaughter #internationalwomensday

Some photos that I took on a smart phone safari in St Albans with @jeanettelphoto a couple of weeks ago. It was a really fun morning and these were shot & edited on my IPhone 8. #streetphotography #smartphonephotography #stalbans #urbanlandscape #shootwhatyousee

NEW BLOG POST https://bloomingcancer.co.uk/2019/03/05/horror-vs-happiness/ ✨ Being told that I would lose my breast was one of the most shocking moments of my life. How strange then, that I would go on to request the removal of my right breast, advocate for women’s’ rights to be able to do this and live happily and well as a flat woman. ✨ What struck me as I walked my dogs was how far my feelings about my breasts and the surgeries have moved from the moment my surgeon told me I’d need a mastectomy to today… when I sit here writing about how positive I am living without breasts. ✨ Link in biog to rest of post #mastectomy #flatandfabulous #breastcancer #flatfriends #fear #anxiety #bodyhorror #amputation

The first of my sown Sweet Peas & Cosmos plus Dahlias in their improvised storage crate cold frames. #grownnotflown #grownfromseed #flowersmakemehappy #britishflowers #flowerfarmer #sweetpea #cosmos #dahlia

The sweet peas are growing like topsy. This is 3 days growth. And my indoor seed production has begun. Once this lot have germinated I’ll put them under the lights and the sweet peas will go into my big plastic crate “cold frames”. Seemed to work last year! #britishflowers #grownfromseed #grownnotflown #flowerfarmer #flowersmakemehappy #seedsofinstagram #sweetpeas

The garden is really waking up now #britishflowers #springtime🌸 #britishgarden #sunnydays

Signs of spring & the garden waking up #britishgarden #britishflowers #natureawakening #springtime🌸

There’s something about decaying flowers. Beautiful in their own way. #springflowers #decay #nothinglivesforever

This morning I found this poem by Helen Dunmore hidden away in the Notes in my phone. So beautiful, moving and poignant. Helen wrote the poem when she discovered her cancer had a poor prognosis & she was likely to die soon. The poem was published in a collection called ‘Inside the Wave’ two months before her death in June 2017. The collection posthumously won the Costa Book of the Year award. Such a wonderful piece of writing #poetry #movedbywriting #poignant #beautyinflowers
