Mr and Mrs Micawber in David Copperfield. He was always optimistic believing that "something will turn up", while bumbling his way through every financial crisis.

I was taken on a tour around the New York Historical Society Museum by an excellent guide.

Staring at a computer screen does not help! I put on my boots and jacket and take a long country walk. There is nothing like fresh air for clearing the brain. I think it was Dickens who said of the air on the Isle of Wight, "It is worth six pence a pint."
