Alice knew that all she had to do was keep pedalling, not fall overboard and trust that he’d be there, waiting… Find somewhere quiet and comfortable and take a ten minute break. Recharge in the middle of a busy day, relax at the end of one, or tune in at bedtime to help you drift off into a deep sleep.
