A lot has changed since then…And it’s fun to look back and see how far I’ve come and how I have changed over the years. Enjoy...

Is a lunchtime drink OK? I’m in Denmark Copenhagen, and it’s interesting to see how many people like to have lunchtime beers.

I actually remember when I was living in London, and would go out to lunch with my co-workers…. We would have a pint...
