And just like that, my Level 4 Diploma is (hopefully) complete and I patiently await the news of whether I have passed. This began at the start of 2022 and it has not been the easiest of qualifications to try and navigate while weaving around other areas of my life and work. I do not yet feel... Continue Reading →
If you follow me on social media, you’ll know I recently spent a few days at Disneyland Paris for Halloween. This is something I have dreamed of for many years, and that my dear friend LT made possible by her supreme organisation skills. All I had to do was turn up with my bag and... Continue Reading →

The confusion is born from a strange misalignment of whatever was happening in my dream against what I am facing in the... Continue Reading →
Best laid plans are always easily ruined aren’t they, at least that what the last two years has felt like.

Note: this was written in the last few weeks and out together through various conversations with friends about this mutual but distinctly different feeling we all have. I have written from my own experience mainly and, I’m sad to say, a lot of this now feels insignificant compared to what has happened in the world... Continue Reading →
