MY TOP TEN TECHIE THINGS FOR SUMMER

IT’S official, it is Summer time! (Even though the great British weather may not agree.)

One – I went to the ‘races’ for the very first time and not just any old races, but the prestigious and oh so glamorous Qatar Goodwood Festival, fondly otherwise known as ‘Glorious Goodwood‘.

WHY I LIVE FOR TODAY (AND OFTEN MAKE MISTAKES)

THROUGHOUT my life, I’ve been known to be pretty reckless at times. I’m a ‘jump in, head first’ kind of woman. I’m a leaper. I’m a ‘go for it’ shouter.
