Dear friends, family and followers, Sometimes I wish I could just give up. And I bet you wish I would too sometimes… ;-) Give up going on and on (and on) about the climate crisis. Stop banging on about taking climate action. Quit posting things on social media that make my friends feel anxious, overwhelmed, panicked, uncomfortable, stressed.

What I did was start by using 3:1 parts dairy to non dairy milk - in my coffee, on my cereal, in béchamel sauces, and slowly change the ratio. I'm now at 100% non-dairy most of the time, or at least 1:3 dairy:non-dairy. With this increase of...

2009 Looking at the picture of me as a brand new mum, with my eldest as a one-day old newborn, emotion floods right back in, like an unexpectedly large wave.My eyes well up because I see that (obviously) inexperienced one day old mum with a teeny tiny brand new baby, and I remember her numbness alongside the love.I’m still not fully reconciled with the state of my mental health post birth. I never really worked out where I fell. I felt empty and robotic much of the time, but similarly I could find happiness and joy in things.I cried...
