Alexandra Tobin Leave a Comment

  Christmas might just be my favourite time of year. The gift giving, spending time with family and friends and the fact that everyone seems to be in a perpetually good mood. But perhaps the greatest thing about the festive season is the smorgasbord of food on offer. This holiday season I ate my way through several Christmas parties, numerous office treats and a Christmas day that felt like one long meal right into Boxing Day.

New Year’s Resolutions

Team Leiden 1 Comment

Claire Gatenby ‘For 2017 I will be trying to get a job with my new coding skills, that I’ve been learning this past year. I’m hoping to travel to a new continent (South America) to explore more wonderful places. I also want to learn something new for 2017 so I have signed myself up for an alpine scrambling course. This will let me climb higher and harder mountains, being a mix between hiking, rock climbing and mountaineering.’     Miriam Walsh ‘In the spirit of keeping things interesting and ensuring I don’t fall into a monotonous routine of work, gym,… Continue Reading →
