This week I had the unique opportunity to visit Fairbanks, Alaska and its surroundings. The official purpose of the visit was to introduce local contractors, architects, home owners and building officials to the benefits of solar heat. In reality I learned just as much, if not more from my audience as they did from me. If you’re asking yourself whether … Read More
I will be the first to admit that my first ever business trip, which was a flight from Heathrow Airport to Schiphol Airport, wasn’t what I originally envisioned it would be. It all started as soon as I set foot out of my taxi onto the concrete in front of the departure gates of the brand new Terminal 5. Instantly … Read More

So, everyone always says having children changes you but, I will be honest, I was completely unprepared for the transformation, when it finally came. The births of both my daughters –first one’s 4 and my second, 4 months, now!- were accompanied by equal parts joy and sheer panic.
