Well, isn’t this just grand! A little Christmas cracker for you all in the shape of a (slightly downbeat but not totally) article by myself and my lovely co-author, Jo Deakin.

Very much enjoyed speaking at the Women@Manchester Aurora launch today, ably assisted by my 3 year old (who told me to be quiet because he couldn’t hear his Octonauts episode). Even managed to squeeze in references to Dolly Parton, Britney and Morecambe and Wise. WINNING!
