Karen, its lovely to see you in the flesh so to speak as we haven't really been face to face since the early 80's when we worked together on Home Ecology. I wholeheartedly endorse your Third Place video, we all look for them but I wonder whether its down to individual personalities whether you recognise them in the first place. I've just been reading about 'attachment styles' and it seems that secure and anxious types might realise they are in one of these places and avoidant types may just find fault all the time! Anyway great to see your face again, and please come to Stroud again whenever you visit the UK, it would be lovely to meet up in one of my Third Places x

I would love to visit a third place in Stroud with you. I was in the Cotswolds with friends in 2022 and we visited Stroud one day and wandered about for a while. As soon as this manuscript is done I'm booking a trip to England and will almost certainly head out that way.

that would be lovely, Stroud like a lot of towns is looking pretty shabby, closed shops, closed pubs and tatty infrastructure but the people are genuinely friendly are are trying to make the best of things especially in the arts. I suspect there are equal numbers of artists and therapists who are here because of each other, LOL x
