Work & Pleasure
My day job, or at least the freelance work that I do the most, is training school students to develop their public speaking skills with a charity called Speakers Trust. Over the last six months or so I’ve been part of a team of trainers running workshops across Yorkshire and a couple of nights ago,
Cafe Photos

Walk on Sandsend beach
Wasn’t that interested in watching the Liverpool v Chelsea FA Cup Final (or Eurovision Song Contest) so headed off to Sandsend Beach. It’s a shame that I need to drive 45 minutes to get to the seaside. I struggle with polluting the air with diesel fumes just to get some photos (and sea air) so
