shared a photo on Instagram, external<\/a> of her lying in an ambulance with cuts on her face and a breathing tube up her nose.<\/p>\nShe explained in the adjoining caption how she had “slipped on a muddy patch on the steep path”, while walking back with her family following her birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n
“We have a picnic on the beach at Welcombe Mouth, a swim and a walk back to the house for some cake,” she wrote of the longstanding family tradition.<\/p>\n
It took “a whole host of people to get me to hospital”, she added.<\/p>\n
“After a little wait while poor Oscar [her son, 18] ran as fast as he could to get help, and the RNLI Bude Lifeboat paramedics and Cornwall Air Ambulance tracked me down.”<\/p>\n
She then asked for help identifying those who had helped her, noting how she had been given “a huge amount of painkillers” so was “high as a kite!”<\/p>\n
“Everyone at Barnstaple hospital has been amazing, kind and caring, so many lovely people doing their absolute best.”<\/p>\n
