Sometimes it can be difficult to write sensitively when there is so much global difficulty going on. I really don’t know what the answer is.

Quarantine is tough on everybody and we are … More My Positives In Pictures

There would be no prizes for guessing what the highlight of my 2019 has been as wild swimming started as a one-off and quickly became a life-changing habit.
