Best museum in the US (world?) is... @thehenryford Americans don’t like to just read about history, they want to touch it, smell it, and if they can put two burger buns around it, they’ll eat it! Henry Ford was the #disruptor of his day! lettersfrombeyondthepale.com…

In Detroit every mode of transport is ‘bringing it’. They are all tricked out. Bikes & rollerbladers whizzed past with wheels lit up. The tram's horn mimicked a locomotive. Named a 'People Mover' - love the American literalism #detroit #wewilltravelagain lettersfrombeyondthepale.com…

We virtually walked/cycled/ran the coast of Clare in the @CroiHeartStroke #WildAtlanticWay challenge. 1 in 5 Irish people's heart will fail. If heart disease hasn't touched your life yet, it likely will. Together let's beat heart disease #iam1in5 #goredforwomen #heartfailure

My Dad's core values were health and fitness. Then he developed Parkinson's disease. It's not something that happens to 'other people' it could happen to you! @ParkinsonsIre #worldparkinsonsday #parkinsonsawarenessweek #findacure #changeattitutes
