I'm a freelance copywriter and private pilot living in the Cotswolds. I've been self-employed since 2013, and although my writing work keeps me very busy, I love the freedom of being my own boss and I exploit it at every opportunity. This blog records my adventures, discoveries and efforts to make life a bit more interesting.
