Project 365. A photo a day, every day of the year. I hated these when I was a child, and cauliflower, beetroot, cabbage, and a few other vegetables, but now as an adult I love them, and eat them happily, as often as I can. My mother used to make me eat them because they […]

Work life balance? Before we went away, I had a rather pathetic undramatic realisation that mine is utterly, frankly, crap. I don’t have a work life balance. I don’t switch off.
