After a two-month sabbatical involving rest, travel, perspective, and a suspicious reduction in phone calls and emails, I’m officially returning to work. I will be back on deck from Tuesday 17th February 2026.

• “Two months away confirmed I am not actually replaceable… but I am refreshable.”

Thank you for your patience, your messages, your love and support and for not breaking into the office looking for me!!  I’m grateful to be back, refreshed, and ready to walk beside you once more.  I’ve got you in 2026.

All my love.
