A mum of four started making jewellery out of breast milk after celebrating the end of a "hellish" year.
Ali Hawthorn's life changed after giving birth to twins Joseph and Jensen two years ago, just before the covid pandemic started. The former nursery nurse then left her job at the RSPCA while pregnant, and then the family upsized from their Wallasey home to a bigger house in "much quieter" Moreton.
The 32-year-old told the ECHO: "I had the boys at the end of February 2020 and then we went into lockdown in mid-March, and that whole year was hellish for me. It was really, really bad. My partner didn't get any furlough, so I was just at home.
