Back in the Shire, cruising the Severn with our marvellous quirky Brit Tribe…

How wonderful to be the age when you no longer give a hoot (with by beloved friend Scott)...

I stand in support of every other person who has been manipulated and exploited sexually by someone in a position of power…

Stayed at a 150 year old cottage on a sheep farm, and we got to feed the lambs...

Strongest, longest earthquake yet. We are all fine and nobody hurt, but our staff were terrified. Deep, ancient, cellular, memories evoked.

I now know what a volcano smells like; charcoal. The air is thick and heavy and ash is starting to settle, even although we are downwind…

What a day. Spent with four newly discovered aunts I haven't seen since I was about 8 years old... and many cousins.
