Esther Parry is just an ordinary middle aged English woman who has always suspected that there’s more to life than money and the comforts of, let’s say, a roof over your head and food on the table.
Despite achieving a first-class honours degree in Biological Anthropology at the age of 49, she refuses to be drawn into the rat race, or let her life be defined by it. This is baffling to many people…particularly to her mother!

If you asked her for advice, she’d say three things:
Always find something to be thankful for – but sometimes you have to look REALLY hard.
Always find something to laugh at – even if it's yourself!
Buy a houseplant – every life needs a houseplant.
