My key philosophy of life...age is just a number, there are more than 24 hours in a day, you are capable of way more than you imagine.

  Heatwave ! I’d forgotten how much I don’t like running when it’s hot. Now to put that into context for any non British readers of this blog, we Brits start getting excited about the sun the second the thermometer hits… Read More ›
