I knew I had bitten off more than I could chew the moment I watched a tutorial on the basics of FCP. You could edit a Hollywood movie on this software I thought, which is great news, but not if like me you don’t know what you are doing. After trying to run a good…

2022 – My Best Bits
I can’t complain. I’ve cycled the cobbles of Flanders, climbed the best mountains in the French Alps, ridden through sun-soaked crop fields in Dorset, mountain biked the Atlas Mountains and snorkelled in the Indian Ocean.

It’s not often I’ve been on an aeroplane that only had seven other passengers on it, although I came close once on an out of season flight in Thailand in 1996. On this occasion, as I looked around the cabin at the excited faces playing with their reclining leather seats and taking selfies, I knew…
