Had a brilliant day visiting the new children's hospital @CHI_Ireland in Dublin today. Lots of learning for the team to take away from such a fantastic new building. Exciting times ahead. #ourchildrenshospital

Things I’ve eaten on my trip to England so far:
Full English breakfast (even the beans)
Fish and chips
Sausage roll
Sticky toffee pudding
Clotted cream ice cream
Mushy peas
