Hard to believe today is my last at the @bucksfreepress - I've had a blast reporting from the courts across Bucks and Berks - witnessing some of the most heartbreaking, inspiring and down-right ludicrous stories you could ever imagine - and been part of an amazing team to boot!
Thank you to everyone who has made it such a pleasure.
But now onto new things!
Very soon I'll be starting as a Data Journalist for the @ONS - really can't wait to get stuck into it

The Olly Stephens trial has finally come to an end today, with the three teens who killed him given 28 years
I got to interview Olly's parents, Amanda and Stuart, last week. They told me all about their incredible son and the man he was going to become.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/…
They ended the interview with a warning: that parents with young children should 'take their phones off them and don't give them back'
They also pleaded with social media companies to make accounts more transparent

Thanks should go to @ThamesVP for investigating so well and for inviting me to HQ to meet Stuart and Amanda.
And don't forget to look at the excellent blog from @olliesirrell who has followed every day of this case relentlessly
