This one is way overdue, and as such I do want to reiterate that all the bits are decidedly not in any sort of order, other than “random”. Depending on how you look at it, you might say this is another two-fer, as both are my parents are great in their own right. Without having to acknowledge the obvious, it’s really hard to imagine what my life would be like without them. Exceptionally supportive and generous, I honestly don’t think I would be anywhere near where I am today without them. I’m very, very, very lucky.

It took me a while to get around to asking my friend Jim to use it. Despite the fact it was taken on Jim’s camera, this photo (which captures them really well, I think) was taken by our friend Andy’s wife, Joanne.
