Light and shade on the Thames Path
We’re getting there! 100 miles walked out of 184… Yup, we were back on the river.

Expats: does moving abroad make you happier?
For expats abroad, the grass isn’t always greener…or is it? The above statement is a genuine question, I have no concept of how many of us out there harbour this notion.
