Finally reunited, it was going to take more than looking after a bunch of party guests to prise me away from my comfortable position wrapped around XY on the sofa. He was wearing me like a stole and I loved … Continue reading
Cycling, a castle, and tightrope walking (Rousse)
My morning routine was to get up bright and early, walk my bike through the village, then cycle home in the sunshine. One day I journeyed high into the countryside and visited a castle that doubled up as a hotel. … Continue reading
From student accommodation in Sheffield to unwelcome attention in the garden (Rousse)
I left the conference with a PhD student who was also heading north. She offered me a bed for the night in her student house in Sheffield, which I willingly accepted – and then instantly regretted as we walked through … Continue reading

Walking on the Isle of Lewis (Rousse)

A 4-person tandem ride to the Lammermuir Hills (Rousse)
