While I don’t usually take part in social media trends, this one seemed worthwhile, as this past ten years has been particularly significant for me.

Seize the day – in memory of Stephen
JUST HEARD that Stephen – my friend and neighbour for almost 12 years – has died suddenly. I was too busy to visit him in hospital the last time he was there – in fact I didn’t even know he’d gone in again this month. He made this great montage of photos for Warren and I a couple of …

Photo A Day – November 15: In my bag #FMSphotoaday
THREE THINGS go everywhere with me in my satchel – a diary, my phone charger, and perhaps the least interesting yet most useful gift I have ever received. The black leather conference folder was a gift from a former housemate one Christmas – I remember being unimpressed and underwhelmed at the time. What could I …
