    Nothing screams typical Leland than an English lady sitting on a French train platform, in her Chinese dress, eating Japanese snacks, whilst waiting for her Dutch fiance and his German dog.

    The domino effect of disaster was handled like a zen master Steph. I’ve been in that situation for the past few months and got to the point where I shouted at the universe…’Bring it on universe…. Try and break me …. Just try!’ There comes a point where you realise that ‘the only way round is through’. Attitude is everything.

    Your window urgently needs paint and fresh caulking. You don’t want the wood to rot.
    It’s easy to do. You can do it yourself.

      Yes, I thought that too. I particularly like the way Billy Petherick repaints his windows using silicone instead of putty and then adding wooden beading over the glass. Easier and a better waterproof seal I feel.

    I've waited until I could binge watch the whole trip, what a fantastic journey. You are much braver than I when it comes to food. So glad that you made it home safely. The Umbrella you bought for Philip is a wonderful gift. I had one many years ago, I had it a long time before someone walked off with it out of my office at work. They aren't cheap but worth every penny. I bought mine through an import shop in Toronto.

    Good thing the video was short - you only needed to look positive for a shorter time. I would have give up, and probably would have exclaimed 'oh, stuff the audience - I'm going to bed'. Well done, and welcome home. Sleep well!
