I entered the local history of the tiny village where my parents live in Somerset, UK. It has a tiny history, too.

I went riding for the first time the other weekend in the Sangre de Christos mountains around Taos, New Mexico. Amazing – and amazing that I didn’t fall off either. Horses scare the hell out of me.
I have lived in the US for three years now – my home country is the UK. I love this country, and all that its allowed me to do career-wise. Sometimes I get home sick, but its rare. I will always be greatful for America for giving me a new start. There’s so much here that’s not possible in my homeland.
