    Just checking in…

    Hello. It’s me. How things have changed since I last posted. The months that have passed since the country went into lockdown from the Covid-19 pandemic has given me a lot of time to think, as it probably has for many of you. I have been working from home every day since Friday the 13th…

    Review: Trapped in London

    Escape rooms. Well I did one a couple of years ago whereby I was locked in a room somewhere close to Euston station, trying to solve a crime but soon realised I was a lousy detective (as were my team mates). Still, it was a lot of fun and gave me a taste to do…

  • Farewell 2017

    Another is drawing to an end…step up to the podium 2017 and take a bow. I can’t say you’ve been a great year but you’re certainly difficult to forget, taking away three people from my family…the biggest gaping hole left by the departure of my dad three months ago. I did a quick scroll back…

    Blogging has turned the world upside down. I could sit here for hours, debating with myself how it has evolved and how it continues to change its colours.
