- A beautiful walk in the Peak District around and up Chrome Hill. I was amazed how much lycra and road cycling kit was on display as well — really glad Britain has got the bike bug.
- BBC’s Horizon on meat — convinced me that there’s nothing wrong healthwise with eating meat in moderation but that the environmental impact means we need to cut back a lot.
- Having a series of meetings that made me realise quite how far we’ve come with BGV since we kicked it off over homemade lasagne in Bethnal Green in late 2010.
- Flying to San Francisco and having a movie and TV binge on the way over.
- A run around Golden Gate park and then Four Barrels coffee and fresh Californian peaches from a farmers’ market.
