Recovering lawyer helping others simplify their legals. Loves to speak, happy to MC, written 5 books. Created 500-word contracts to demonstrate what's possible. Wish I could cycle to events and solve climate change from the back of a tandem.

I'm creating fidget blankets for a local dementia group. All materials are recycled, I'm learning new skills & creating something of value to a stranger. Win win win.
A patchwork of 12 squares of different fabrics. The textures include furry, waterproof, satin, crocheted yarn, bobbly and denim. There are pockets, ribbons, beads, a tassel, popper, and adjustable strap. The patchwork is backed with recycled sheep wool and simply quilted.

I saw these witches' hats last week. Cute, hey?

If I can pack all my gear for a 3-day business conference (gala dinner, two presentations, swim & yoga) into two panniers, imagine how much I can simplify your contract.
A photo of a bicycle on a tarmac drive, sporting two red rear panniers and a handlebar bag. In the background is a front lawn and some Victorian red brick houses.

A Repair Café: where volunteers give their time & skills to keep your items beloved, functional or both.

My recent transformation of a 60YO soft toy - beyond what we can achieve in a morning! Find out more with @transitionwilmslow.bsky.social
Two photographs of a humpty dumpty toy. On the left is a grey faded toy with patched eyes, arms and legs falling apart, balding and sad. He's very deflated. On the right he's sitting up, with new velour arms and legs, embroidered eyes, a shock of new hair, cleaned up and stuffed. 20 hours of work.

Sometimes planning for a rainy day means you miss the sunshine... don't be too cautious! [This sign in North Rode is immediately before where my partner crashed into a thorny hedge a decade ago, how ironic]
An old fashioned iron sign in a deep verge. The sign is white and octagonal, with black lettering saying "To cyclists. Ride with caution". The sun is casting its rays from a blue sky.

Beautiful broad-leaved helleborine spotted on our blackberry forage today #Wilmslow
A tall spike of delicate aubergine-coloured flowers, each looking a little like a dainty scalloped bell.

Love this quote from Lea Thompson discussing Back to the Future (article www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...)
Quote asks Lea what she would do with a time machine. She said if she could be a man, she'd go back to Shakespeare's time. But as a woman, you don't want to go anywhere in time. "Time has been hard on women"

The benefits of not mowing your verges.... orchids. If only the cost saving was used to clear the overgrown cycle path (it's not even passable).
A grassy verge with a tall narrow flower spike of a common spotted orchid - tiny open pale purple & white tubes with spots. In the background is an overgrown cycle path/pavement.

I love street art, murals & graffiti art. This one's from Royal Leamington Spa by the Grand Union Canal.
A photo of street art under a narrow brick arch, by the towpath of a canal. The image is of a dusky purple ribbon against a turquoise blue bubble background. The ribbon says Find Joy In Love.

Some findings from a German project on AI in the justice system by Astrid Kohlmeier: including UX & UI are critical, leave evaluation to humans, and embed in workflows. #LT25
Photo of Astrid Kohlmeier showing 6 learnings from her AI project: including visualisations are important, strong need for AI tools and desire for active AI solutions.

Today, I painted my home office in my business colours (the cards are paint swatches, not my brand colours). What do you think?
Photo shows a hand holding two paint swatches in lilac and tall, against the corner of a room with lilac on the left wall and teal on the right.

This Friday's cake on @linkedin.com is Paddington. I crafted him in 2010 when I had a cake sculpting business. #FunProfessional
A photograph of a fondant bear wearing a floppy red hat, blue duffel coat and sitting on a fondant leather suitcase. His beady black eyes are staring to the right. The background is a white patterned tablecloth.

This lunchtime my ##MugOfTheDay is from Padstow marked 'Stein sells sea shells on the seashore'.
A decorated mug sits on a faded outdoor table. There are images of coloured fish, sea weed and a choppy sea.

One of my accidental photos as I ran along Blackpool prom, before delivering my Confidence with Contracts masterclass in Blackpool.
A grainy photo with the shadow of a lady running projected onto a sandy beach. In the background is a sliver of sea that's grey & calm, against a pale blue sky. I think this was taken through my mesh pocket!

A very enjoyable book with lovely turns of phrase, borrowed from #Wilmslow library... which is hosting its author @robinince.bsky.social on 24 April (I'm going)
Photograph of the book 'The importance of being interested, adventures in scientific curiosity' by Robin Ince. The cover illustrating is a man in a bowler hat, riding a penny farthing using a telescope. The wheels of the cycle represent the earth (small rear wheel) and a galaxy (large front wheel).

A #Leeds skyline & 0% Tanqueray in evening sunshine with a Somerset Maugham for company.
A photo of an etched gin glass with the Leeds skyline. It sits on a weathered teak table in late afternoon sunshine. In the distance, a maid magnolia is in all its blossomy glory.

Bit windy up the Trough of Bowland today. But lush sunshine, curlews, skylarks & lapwings for our 40 miles & 1100m ascent.
A photo showing a blue sky with partial cloud cover. On the left is the back of a male cyclist wearing a purple top. The road veers left seen from the hawthorn hedge in the foreground. The view is low, bright moors in the distance.
