We first met in 2013, and his curiosity and love for life is as strong as ever. Can’t wait to see his new travel programme, particularly Palin in Venezuela (as my wife is Venezuelan 🇻🇪). He is a diamond within the creative industry. Here’s to many more years and more travels!

I Kissed The Borg Queen

Fear rises in me like a hellhound: anxiety is a plague fire, sweeping through my dry bones: the black cloud of trauma cloaks me: depression persecutes like a schoolyard bully: despair, that posturing demon, I know him intimately, he crouches outside my mind-doorlooking for a little contact. If I hold the neutral mind, and suspend engagement, I can capture these hellhounds, and train them, and drive them, and transform them into the charity of a book, a film, a play, a podcast, a life.

If I am brave enough to kiss the borg queen (but not be assimilated) I can exchange my great traumas for the coin of Wisdom, freshly stamped from the Royal Mint.
