The experience that I am thinking of right now is walking along the canal on my way home, in the middle of autumn. The trees have turned orange and red and are reflecting in the water. Occasionally you’ll notice a leaf falling, doing a dance before resting on the surface of the canal and it feels magical. More so because its a crisp, cold day but the sun is shining and it feels very special.
It’s not a work related one – but becoming a parent for the first time. It took us a long time to have kids, and the miracle of meeting a tiny baby that was ours was just amazing.
I like to explore new places, and took the opportunity to travel to Japan. Some parts were so very different from Scotland (home), the huge cities of Tokyo and Osaka, with their towering buildings and thousands of people, to the small rural towns I visited in the south of Japan. I loved the mix of experiences it gave me. Meeting the people, trying food I couldn’t pronounce the names of, visiting beautiful places I’d only seen in pictures on the internet. It felt a very special place, one of my favourite holidays so far and I would like to go back and visit more of the country in the future.
