Talk staff at my local post office are relatively attentive, however.

That’s a wrap! Creasing from my final Frankfurt Book Fair meeting 2025.

PREGNANT WOMEN WHO MADE HISTORY. This week I thought, what the heck – one of the great things studying history can do is make you realise that you are never alone; that no problem is new. Powerful women, this one’s for you.

Love this. Very into both oaths and swearing this week #sorrynotsorry

St Martin in the Fields Annual Pilgrimage Help Daniel Kaszeta raise money to support The Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields

Every year, my church does a 4 day walking pilgrimage from Trafalgar Square to Canterbury Cathedral. I'm only walking one day of it this time, but I am raising money to help the homeless in London, in aid of The Connection, St Martin's homelessness charity.
