Where is the best place you have travelled to and why?

Pottering!

The people, always.
If you could invite four people to dinner (living or dead) who would you invite and why?
Sir David Attenborough – what a life! What a legacy!
Elizabeth Strout – one of my favourite authors, what does it take, to write a book? To be able to understand and use language to create another world, another person who comes so alive on a page?
Thich Nhat Hanh – so much more than a spiritual leader, someone whose well of wisdom and kindness is bottomless
A good friend to help with the meal prep and the washing up!
What was your childhood ambition?
To be a paediatrician.
What is your most memorable day at Outsourced Events?
Impossible question! After 11+ years there are so many! Many stories, adventures, good and challenging times, laughs, and tears sometimes too! The most enduring memory though is how we all rally round to make things work out, which they always do, in the end.

Wildlife conservation

So many tough questions!
