I think cats 🐈‍⬛ run in my family!

This is my grandfather with one of the many family cats throughout the generations. He was nice. I wish you could meet him, but at least you can read about him:

🚢 110 years ago today, my great-grandfather’s ship sank.

HMS Irresistible hit a mine in the Dardanelles & went down under heavy fire. Charles barely made it out alive. That moment changed my family forever.

My mother, the most stylish pirate in the world, with her colour-coordinated eye patches. (That's my sister next to her. It was the 80s, what can I say?)

This Matariki, I turned 50.

I took a quiet trip through places where my ancestors once lived.

It wasn’t planned. But it felt right.
