Towards the end of a long weekend I find myself reflecting on how I spend time, the moments of rest, and the opportunities for personal growth that we often overlook in our busy lives.

It's a chance to pause and consider how far we’ve come, not just in the days of this weekend, but in the chapters...

In the middle of last week I had a breakfast meeting for work near Tower Hill in London. Before I left I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and I was met by the most stunning interior. I took a photo above as inspo! 

Last week, some building work started on my house. As I've been saying to fri...

Last week I was completing a chapter for a book on impossible futures and I had to triple check a reference I put in as it didn't seem right. As ever, my mind wondered and I got distracted and found several other interesting quotes! 

One of these was:

“A masterful coach is a leader who by nature i...

Earlier in the week I was in a meeting and someone mentioned the concept of 'shedding.' 

For various reasons this has been really important to me this week. 

What I understood is that shedding is when you look at everything you are involved in and basically clear out the things which are not a pri...

Ever thought about moving out of the comfort zone for something brand new, something that maybe even gives you a little shiver down your spine... something more adventurous?

Life throws curveballs, right?

We all dream big – that epic backpacking trip, finally learning to paint, starting that busin...

This morning I went running with

• Naveed from the BBC Scotland comedy series Still Game (actor Sanjeev Kohli one of the voices for BBC C25K). Still Game has been something I watched on and off for 20+ years and have passed to my children.
• William Morris (artist, poet social activist, and writer),

Get ready for a contradiction - I'm not the biggest fan of Tiktok and other social media, and at the same time I love how they can be a source of new knowledge or thought provoking short reminders. 

I got a real lesson this morning! 

As I was drinking my Sunday slow coffee in bed where I relish in...

Usually on a Saturday morning I have a leisurely coffee and then go and do my shopping. I know I can order online but there is something special about going to the shops, seeing people and families going about their weekends and simply being connected to the place I live in with a bit more depth. 

A few pictures of Essaouria... #7 is a Citroen 2CV, my first car! #5 is the kitchen of a small cafe we had the best couscous and chops in! 

Have you ever thought about the impact on you of the land you are situated on? 

A couple of things happened to me in the last 10 days that really made me ...

I am a little late in writing this weeks post as the weather was bad and my son asked me if I could drop him to work. All would have been fine except that... 

We were on a roundabout and the googlemap instructions were pretty clear. Then my son loudly said 'That way! that way!' I missed the junctio...

When it comes to tea I am quite fussy. 

I appreciate that there are many stereotypes around British people and their tea, and I unashamedly fit every single one. 

Last week I met a virtual friend in person and we spent a wonderful few hours together getting to know another dimension of each other ...
