Jodi Walsham, from Humshaugh, died in January after taking her own life, aged 23. Her mum, Jayne, said Jodi had suffered from anxiety since she was young, but said: “If it wasn’t for Covid, she’d still be here- I know that.” Jodi, who went to Queen Elizabeth High School in Hexham, spent a year in Vietnam after she graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) in 2018, where she studied community drama and applied theatre. When Jodi returned from Vietnam, she had a job lined up to be a mentor in a school. But when the coronavirus pandemic hit, the job offer was taken away.

A TALENTED flower arranger has finally realised her dream by making a career out of her long-term hobby.

Now, a quarter of a century after her early triumphs, Jayne has established her new business, Jayne Longlands Floral Design. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Jayne said the past year had given her time to reflect on what she really wanted to do. And while she had excelled in office jobs over the years, Jayne opted to take a leap of faith in her abilities in flower design.
