Utopia Utopia is an interesting concept. It can mean a multitude of things to each individual person. Some see a stereotypical version: rolling green meadows, thundering waterfalls and crystalline cloudless skies. Unicorns. Sunshine. All that. Others, a take on the real world: peace between nations, sustainable energy, an end to poverty. My interpretation is different. Yes, peace on earth would be quite nice, as would millions in the bank, a Ferrari in the garage and a team of supermodels. But that isn't what I want. I want to experience everything #life has to throw at me, and that means the highs and the lows. Good jobs and bad jobs. Friends and enemies. I want to drink good tea and eat bad food, meet fantastic people and drive terrible cars. That's my vision of it anyway.

Some Wisdom To Live By Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on. - Billy Connolly

A Fun Fact About My Family Behind the bar of a certain pub in Masham, Yorkshire, is a large stuffed polar bear in a large glass box. This is thanks to my great-great grandfather. One day, he'd been shopping at a market, when said boxed stuffed bear happened to catch his eye. However, instead of recognising its value as a decoration, trophy and/or conversation starter, he instead decided that the glass box that this rare, interesting and majestic beast was stored in would make an excellent place to store his lettuces. It was only after heavy persuasion that he agreed to give it to the pub, called The White Bear. It really says something about my family does that.
