If anyone wonders why I’m slow at replying to emails at the moment… This is Herbert (Herbie to his friends). Eleven weeks old, 80% fluff, 15% Fraggle, 5% baby shark. Needs to learn to sleep until the sun comes up, but otherwise very cute.

In Arizona this week revisiting some of our old haunts from when we used to live here. I don’t miss the bonkers politics, but the skylines can be pretty special.

It’s so long since I used Twitter that I can’t remember what I used to post about. Pics of my dog? My dinner? My dog eating his dinner?
