More coastal #UnconfinedWalks today. Chose a route with plenty of options to adapt/cut short which proved to be a good idea when the weather closed on at Beachy Head. Cliff top in high winds was not fun, but I could easily get further inland.

Posted my first batch of Christmas cards today. Seems a good time to remind people that many charities collect used postage stamps. This site was updated in October and lists some of those charities.

Random question time! When delivering training how long do you allow for questions to start (that is how much silence do you allow)?

Visiting local (*1hr bus/walk) museum today with friends for #UnconfinedWalks.
It was fun, but arriving at a museum at opening and staying until close is a long day when I'm not working!

Lots of questions about environmental sustainability, cyber security, and ethics but I was able to address them all (not always with definitive solutions but acknowledging issues and that we have considered them).

Gentle and beautiful #UnconfinedWalks along the river. Trying to take it easy this weekend and next one is busy. The sunshine, water, and movement were a great combination to refill my cup.
