Absolutely brilliant to be nominated and then shortlisted for a TEA this year for employability. How do you feel when you don’t win? Of course Chris who won, has done an amazing job with Stu Brew – so no surprise and well deserved. But still, I can’t pretend it would not have been nice to walk home with a glass teapot.

Then Phoebe, 4th year MEnv came to see me this afternoon. She said she was sorry I didn’t win. I asked her if she nominated me and she said, ‘we all nominated you’ – we sent a message round to say, ‘let’s all nominate Helen’ and we all did. Do you know, that was like a hundred glass teapots to me 🙂
