I love connecting with people. I have always taken for granted the ease with which I do this, and the enjoyment I get out of it. In the last 20 months it has been much more difficult to connect with people for me. The lockdowns made it physically...
I sit on the plane on my way to Athens, with my kids, listening to my favourite country songs, on my daughter’s birthday. I look up and see a little girl aged roughly 4 or 5 months old – smiling and looking around. It is an image that fills me...
