I’m afraid that you can now follow me on Twitter @MarenDeepwell, although my tweeting is limited to work-related matters.

If…
It’s mid-March and I’m afraid this month there’s little news as I have been too engaged with things outside the online realm to be able to do much otherwise. BUT – there is updates to come to all areas of this site within the next month. Enjoy Spring!
This month sees the first birthday of my personal blog. To mark the occassion I have written a review of the first year of posting, which you can read here. The review also contains a countdown of the 5 most read and shared posts over the past year: At number five its “Chutney & air travel” (the chutney was a first attempt, but utterly delicious, in case you are interested). At number four – “On happiness on…
