I’m Jessamine, a New Zealander living in beautiful Blackheath, a leafy suburb in south London.  I have a lovely husband, Nick, and three children, Jack (19) who is autistic, Dash (15) and Katie (11).  In June 2014 I decided to take a 15-month career break from my position as Senior Clinical Countermeasures Manager for Public Health England.  This blog began as a daily journal of this precious time at home.
