A few days ago I took up a new role, one almost as daunting as being a superhero. I undertook to be Godmother to my friend Laura’s son Leo. Laura first asked me back in January when Leo was only a month old.…
The UK’s been bracing itself for a massive storm for several days now. As I lie in bed psyching myself up for the day ahead, the big trees I can see from my window are blowing about wildly. They don’t look like a rolling ocean today, more like hyped-up rockers banging their big heads frantically to their favourite tune.…
Last week I spoke at TEDx Albertopolis, an event exploring the relationship between art and science held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. As an organisation TED is dedicated to sharing ideas. A key part of their ethos is that videos of their talks are made available online.…
It’s not long till Halloween and the nature garden at work always holds a magical night time event then. I’ll be helping out again this year and I’ll need a costume. I went in search of inspiration and came across this BuzzFeed of creative wheelchair costumes.…

A few days ago an invitation dropped into my inbox that was impossible to refuse. It was from the South London Gallery (SLG) inviting me to a Noise Summit. As a dedicated noisemaker there was no question about whether or not I should go.…
Today was the last day of Shambala Festival 2013. Shambala’s a creative, family-friendly festival that takes place near Market Harborough, and for the last three days it’s been my home.
Although this is only the second year I’ve been I feel I know it well.…
This will be a short post because hopefully, by the time you read it, I’ll be happily ensconced in a field in Leicestershire, whizzing about in my gold party chair and catching up with lots lovely people. In other words, I’m at the Shambala Festival.…
