Cameras for Christmas


Tonight Jeremy and a film crew from the UK fly out to interview us together for a docu-drama for one of the bigger networks. It is a wonderful Christmas present for our family to have us all together, and filming it should be good fun. Rosemary spent the afternoon gluing her "Welcome Home Daddy" sign for the airport. She is always very pleased that her sign is the biggest and most decorative sign at arrivals. (I haven't the heart to tell her the other name boards are written taxi drivers who don't know their clients;)

Jeremy bumped into the director at the airport whilst we were chatting on the phone, so they are probably sharing a glass of wine at 10 000ft right now... what an odd thought.

To all who read this, from Belarus to Costa Rica (yes, there are people from Belarus and Costa Rica who have read this blog(??!)) this is my Christmas wish to you:

May you be blessed with happiness this Christmas, to create a treasure of memories that weigh nothing, can never be taken from you, yet will warm your heart till the end of your days.

Risk, adversity and uncertainty can either be your undoing, or something that brings out pure genius, hidden talent, innovation and extraordinary teamwork. Mountaineers and Rock climbers live with uncertainty, and develop techniques  to function at a high level in demanding situations - skills  gained from years of testing limits and erasing boundaries, and this is what I want to focus on today.   Climbers, like cave divers, train themselves to suppress fear and the resulting feelings of uncertainty. They train

Am so excited -  BBC World Service are  interviewing me for their  Outlook series, on Extraordinary Personal Stories from Around the World.

My wish is that our story may reassure and inspire hope to many people who  have endured a similarly harsh time during the very difficult and unnerving events we face, in the heart of the Global Covid-19 Pandemic 2020.

Plastic Free July

 I was recently wrote this article for NOICE to promote Plastic Free July. Whilst it was fun putting it together in an entertaining way, the content matter made me question how I can further reduce the amount of plastic I use through informed purchasing choices.   Enjoy reading Mr Plasticus Tubus' Journey and check out the NOICE clip that goes with it!
