It may seem to have gone a bit quiet over here at “How to Make a Difference” but I have good reason. This summer I gave birth to our third child and we moved the whole family to Oxford, both pretty time consuming projects. Things are starting to settle down and I’m on the look out for more people in the Oxfordshire area to feature on the site. I also have plans for a How to Make a Difference “pop-up” shop in Oxford. So, watch this space. In the meantime, don’t forget there are plenty of amazing stories in the How to Make a Difference archives if you can’t wait for some new ones.

As you can see from the picture, I’ve been enjoying the perks of living outside London by swimming in the Thames (yes it’s very cold, about 4 deg C last time I went, incredibly invigorating…). Thank you to Tony Steele who happened to be passing one morning with his camera when I was swimming off Port Meadow.
