Valencia has wonderful weather. In the UK, it often rains. The sky is grey
and dark.
It's usually cloudy and very cold in the winter.
Here, in Valencia, it's usually sunny and warm. It isn't very cold in winter and I
often see clear, blue sky.
I love the weather in Valencia and I'm very lucky to be here. Sometimes, only
sometimes, I miss British weather.

What's the future of journalism?

It seems that print media, newspapers and magazines printed on paper that you
can buy in a shop or get
delivered to your home, is dying out. More and more we hear of popular
publications being discontinued
or only available online. So what is the future for you if you studied journalism?
Blogging perhaps for an
internet-based e-zine or subscription service? Many journalists seem to be
starting their own blog. After
all, isn't good journalism basically the curation and analysis of news?
There's so much information and published material on the internet these days I
think we need journalists
to sort through all the news streams and present us with the facts in
an intelligent and easily digestible way
