Walking with anger – A trusted companion
The set up It’s late at night, at the end of a long dark November day and I’m snuggled up in bed, listening to La Traviata feeling really angry. How can one be angry you might think in such a cosy and idyllic set up? Well the one who is snuggled up to warm up …
Walking in London – The search for the perfect birthday card

The Penistone Boundary Walk – Discovering my foot’s boundaries!
I attended recently a work-related workshop which in my opinion was one of the best facilitated ones that I’ve been to. One of the things that made it a good one was that the facilitator asked everyone on the each working group to note down on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being low …
