Firstly, thank you for the emails asking how I am? I have been off the grid for a while, but now in Vientiane for a few more days, so making the most of internet (is that a good or bad thing) and the croissants. Thank goodness for the French. There have been plenty of journeys [...]

It’s been a while. There’s been illness. Isolation from the world. Time for reflection. Realisations. Acceptance. Personal challenges. Soul searching.
