My latest column for Telegraph Expat offers some much needed advice for those considering a move to Qatar.
What other things would you add? Did you agree with my suggestions? Did you cry every day for a month when you moved to Qatar, like I did? (There’s no shame in admitting your emotions. Well, not in my book, anyway – I tell the world!)

A few months ago, I was interviewed by a team from the Discovery Channel, filming the documentary Waterfront Cities of the World in Doha. The presenter Heidi Hollinger is a professional photographer, and her pictures are an integral part of the show’s format. She’s just sent me some of the pictures she took of me, which I thought I’d share. The show will be broadcast in June.

My first article for Good Housekeeping Middle East was published in the February edition. It’s about women whose husbands work away a lot – a topic which, as a long haul pilot’s wife, I know a great deal about!

Let me know what you think!

Last week, Doha News published a story I’d written about Hamad Hospital’s treatment of the Villagio victims and their families after the fire. We were given access to many previously unseen documents, including embalming reports on the Weekes’ triplets. The Villagio fire trial continues. Click here to read the article.
