Day 5

Day five already! Ever heard a politician or business person wriggle out of their responsibility before?

Day Six

And here's another one you can listen to.

Almost There, written this time last year on a very frosty day in Devon.

Where did our Dad go every week?
Is my own wanderlust an attempt to retrace his invisible steps?
