In this moment:
MoT Leeds
Treated myself to first class for the London to Leeds leg after MoTaCon. Was an absolutely amazing, exhausting, wonderful, and in many ways beautiful experience. From seeing folks and giving / getting hugs. To supporting workshops, Leading with Quality, setting up the day before and even the walking tour was all perfect. I may be old and knackered, but my heart is overflowing with joy and memories. Thank you MoTaverse. I also have a very heavy suitcase half filled with swag for MoT Leeds.
