Listening to this in 2021 having been a Patron for about a month, trying very quickly to change my profile pic! And realising I have no pics of myself on my phone, because I have been so good at minimising my digital media, will rectify as soon as I can do a quick decent photo!! In meantime, the pic is of bluebells in my local park which I have enjoyed so much over the last couple of springs, so personal in a way even if it's not my mug shot😄
