  • Spotting Ronald in Bangkok

    Believe me, bustling, dusty Bangkok in late January, in the heat of the day, is not the ideal place for a middle-aged woman on her own to wander around in.

  • Porcupines and blowfishes

    Social media is rife with everyone posting their two cents, with each person trying to shore up their view in the wittiest, the most poetic and the most hard-hitting manner.
