It’s been such an honour to have been the designer of the European Kendo Championship 2025. The final little treat is something I’m truly looking forward to: turning the top three photo submissions into original artwork for Zanshin magazine.

Can’t wait to see your beautiful entries! 💙

Recently I received an honour that brought me to tears, that of #TMACtravel’s 2023 #Volunteer of the Year. I cannot express enough the impact of this award on me, from what was a difficult year for me with health, stress & bullying, making this award so very appreciated and valued. My thanks to Paul Knowles for his kind words & to my fellow TMAC Awards Committee members from 2021 - 2024 who have been working to implement positive change with me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zsy7b3y2Lg

@goatsarah Honours are a Privilege bestowed, by the Establishment, on people for doing their job - often a job they can only do with the unmatched help of many others, who are not honoured.

Privilege should'nt be free, particularly to those already at the top of their game/job/career.

Privilege should be paid for?

Let's Tax all Privilege, till the pips squeak, or hand the Honour back.

Only then will it become clear just how important this empty charade is.
