I’ve been cycling my bike for about two years. I used to stick to road cycling but more recently have been going out and about in the South Downs near my home with Keivor for a spot of off road mountain biking. It is a lovely way to spend the afternoon, cycling …
Back in my backpacking days I spent a lot of time in Thailand. One of my most memorable moments was sitting on a southern beach, with one of my closest friends, drinking beers and watching the sun go down. The vibe of the place was incredible, it was a scuba diving island …
Sometimes I catch myself holding my breath without realising. It’s like I’m holding my breath to keep all the things I’m trying to create in life afloat. I sometimes imagine life like a river, I’m travelling along the current on a raft but the raft is being held together by various bits …
Keivor and I have been watching ‘The Long Way Down.’ It’s the documentary where Ewan McGregor (swit swoo – life long crush) and Charlie Borman motorbike from John O’Groats to Cape Town.

Over my 31 years of life I’ve been no stranger to hangovers. In the past I’ve spent whole days recovering from big nights out, literally handing over my time and money to something that made me hurl repeatedly into a bucket at the side of my bed. Thankfully those kinds of hangovers …
Over the past ten years I’ve worked for several charities, supporting women who had, through no fault of their own, experienced horrors I could never have dreamed of. I was dedicated, passionate and giving. I was inspired by what the women had achieved in the face of violence. Clients stories would sound …
Last weekend I attended a course called the Daring Way™. It is a course created by the incredible Brené Brown, and was delivered by a fabulous Daring Way™ Facilitator Candidate Roxanne Hobbs. Six of us settled down on Friday morning to two days of deep self-discovery. Now I’ve done a lot of …
