You never truly appreciate the challenges of organising a wedding until you organize your own. Having said that, ever since August 2011, I have a much better appreciation of the herculean task undertaken by generally the Bride and to a smaller extent the Groom. Although we were unable to get the hashtag #meeshwedsteg trending on […]
The Woman Next Door
It is not every day you get a letter from the sitting Prime Minister. I suppose it does help that her constituency is next door and I drive across the boundary each working day. A couple of words of advice to her well-drilled campaign team. Firstly I expect the Conservatives to be better informed to […]
Why Mess With A Winning Formula
As I travel home on the 22:20 South West Train service from Waterloo to Reading, I consider where I have traveled in the past 17 years. Now, I do not mean the physical journeys, rather the breathtaking locations The Fast & The Furious franchise has taken us all over the planet. Of course, London is […]
The Crowd Is Roaring

Linking events in my life, with music (every film needs a soundtrack) but also by global events, usually of the sporting […]
Going Postal
Generally I have kept my political views offline, but for the upcoming EU Referendum, we all have a choice. Perhaps the biggest opportunity to shape the future of our great nation for generations to come. Will we make use of the opportunity? However I am surprised by the lack of interest in not just my […]
On The Ladder
Alongside getting married, getting on the property ladder are one of those life milestones. You truly have arrived in the world as an adult if you have a mortgage to pay and henceforth a little piece of land to call your own. Before I go into the main feature, let me start with a brief […]
Spontaneous Bank Holiday
The best days are impromptu days out, planned only the night before. We decided to make the most of the weather on Bank Holiday Monday and headed over towards Bedfordshire and the Woburn Safari Park. Our original plan had been to go to the Paradise Wildlife Park but the website was not working and not […]
