Happy birthday!

My sister is 35 today.

A bit of New Year’s reading

I was lucky enough to receive four books this Christmas and I’m excited by them all! They’re a very eclectic mix, to say the least, but hopefully you’ll find at least one of them a good read too

I want this life!

I just have to share this talk by adventurer Alistair Humphreys. Inspiring, engaging – and very funny! Watch it with a cup of tea and a biscuit, or a cup of coffee and a croissant if you’re feeling a bit continental this morning!
