I'm sure many of you follow my social media and newsletters and stuff but I thought I should post an update on the blog too seeing as it appears on the website. There's so much to tell you since my last general news blog post so I won't try and cover it all, I'll just talk about the latest stuff.  Firstly as I'm sure you'll have heard by now Laura has left ECY to move on to pastures new.
