6.18 /// Head Clearing Cruise, New Pages & planned focus...

Send us a message 🤘Sixty quid for 24 hours of cruise ship internet and I still couldn’t upload a thing, sorry about that! Annoying at the time, but it accidentally handed me the best part of the trip: a proper break from being constantly online, constantly available, and constantly in my own head.I’ve just come back from my first ever Caribbean cruise on P&O Britannia, sailing from Barbados with stops across the islands, then a wild stretch of open Atlantic that makes you realise how huge the ocean really is. On this episode I talk about the little realities that make travel memorable, from the daily wall of onboard activities to the food, the staff, and yes, the moment I managed to sunburn my belly so badly it peeled in sheets. Lovely.But the heart of this chat is what the slower pace did for me. With work stress and the threat of redundancy hanging over my head, I finally found enough calm to write again. I took an iPad and keyboard, sat with a Costa coffee, and made serious progress on my railway memoir “Oi, You D*$#head, Where’s My Train?”, including how I’m thinking about organising the funny chapters alongside the darker stories. I also share what’s been happening at home, including a new roof to tackle some damp, an adjustable bed purchase that makes us feel about 70, and why I’m trying to bring that holiday mindset into everyday life.If you’ve been craving rest, focus, or a nudge to actually finish your own project, hit play.
