Welcome to 'Walking the dog and reflecting on life.' Join me as I walk my dog Poppy. I will be talking about my walks as I go and I will be reflecting on life and key events in the wider world around me. Some walks will be pure relaxation and some will reflect the more serious thoughts occupying my mind. The best bit is that you, the listeners, will be joining me for some fresh air and exercise. Come on. Poppy is ready to go.
