Tales from Quarantine

As I emerge into the real world after time in quarantine, I thought it might be fun (?) to pick out my 5 favourite moments of the last 10 days.  I was going to attempt 10, but it’s been bearable more than good and I wasn’t sure I would manage it. 1. Spending time with Grace The obvious advantage of enforced isolation has been getting to spend quality time with Grace without any risk of interruption for the first time in forever.  We’ve watched movies, chatted, looked through old photos, and got to know each other again. It’s been truly wonderful.  2. Sam’s Manhattans These should definitely have been called Quarantinis, and come highly recommended.   Method as follows: - Add 2oz of Bourbon, 1oz Sweet Vermouth, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, 1 dash of Orange bitters to a mixing glass with ice, stir until well chilled and then strain into a chilled coupe and top with a brandied cherry.   I don’t know how Sam makes his brandied cherries and he refuses to tell me bu...

Ex and the City (aka What’s Next)

Well Grace and I had some very constructive conversations on the flight over here about where my blog could go next.  Apparently there are lots of different things I can do to get myself trending and raise my profile but since I’m new to all this I thought I might just go in slowly and talk about what’s next for me. And, as far as the grand scheme of things goes, I don’t really know at the moment.  After five years of being fully entrenched and grounded by my job role it’s hard to suddenly be cast adrift.  The man sitting next to me on the plane asked what I did for a living and it came as something as a shock to me to realise that the answer wasn’t “Hello, I’m Connie Beaucamp, I’m a Clinical Lead in Emergency Medicine at Holby City Hospital” and I struggled somewhat with an actual response, so in the end I just told him I was an influencer.  I thought Grace was going to choke on her complimentary peanuts but she’s just got no imagination.  However whilst I don’...

#ThrowBackThursday - India 2019

Those of you on Twitter might have noticed that I’ve been - ahem - actively campaigning to take Grace and Sam on a little jaunt to India.  I’m not sure I’m getting very far, as his Highness is still making regular references to Florida and the Maldives, but I really think that with Grace’s new found interest in medicine, a trip to India would be a worthwhile experience for us all. My last trip out was in 2019, and the medical aspect then was completely unplanned.  I’d been receiving medical treatment, and although discharged by my clinic, still didn’t feel quite ready to return to the ED (the background to this is long and detailed, but if you need to know, you know).  So, quite on a whim, I booked myself on a yoga retreat in Kerala in South India.  Well, the Malabar coast was beautiful, and the scenery was to die for, however it took me all of two and a half days of yoga to discover that I am not the sedentary type.  I was bored out of my mind, and no attempts ...
