Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. Last year, I wrote a blog on Thanksgiving and the importance of gratitude in general.

Blog: Time Out
This week, I have taken a leaf straight out of James’ book and writing this from the beach in the Balearic sun. Travel is something that I have desperately missed over the last 19 months.

Better Days Blog: In Time…
Hello Everyone I hope you are all well – and Happy Friday. I am very ready for it this weekend. Tomorrow, 27 March, represents 15 years since I started working in the civil service. It doesn’t seem that long, but at age 37 its strange to think 15 years equates to large chunk of my…
