Spring has a way of encouraging us outdoors. On one of my regular walks up the hill into the bush recently, I noticed the wild freesias beginning to flower. It was one of those simple signs that winter was giving way to spring – warmer sunshine, new growth and a little more colour appearing along the track.

Following our recent UK visit, it was wonderful to reconnect with the Australian lymphoedema community by exhibiting at the Lymphoedema Association Australia (LAA) Information Day in Melbourne.
