Earlier today my wife, daughter and I took a walk to Bas Vegas (google it, trust me it’s a thing) to see an Easter event – namely a gathering of various superheroes/heroines and villains, and an Easter Egg hunt (though we didn’t do that, as it took place outside and the weather was absolutely atrocious […]
This post is dedicated to my wife. When I awoke this morning, I felt (and still do feel, as I have since we met), loved up and content. No one makes me laugh quite like she does (turtles) and she makes me feel warm and wanted. Thank you babe! X
As my wife and I walked home after sorting out some stuff in town today, we spied something in the bushes that we hadn’t expected to find – a moped, that had been dumped there, right by a path near our house, partially embedded in the greenery. Once inside, I phoned the police, who advised […]
In my previous post I was quite reflective on taking the time to notice things and learn about the world around us – after the frightful events in Belgium earlier today, this takes on greater significance. We don’t know what’s around the corner. We take too much for granted and we move through life with […]
Eleven and a half years ago, a few months after we met, my wife and I booked a weekend in London – a quiet hotel on a November weekend. I had no idea of the surprise she would spring upon me. Sitting on the corner of the bed, she produced an envelope and gave it […]
I’m staring at a blank page, fingers poised above the keyboard, wondering what I will say to you as I write this. Right now, you are five years old, you are almost unbelievably sweet and adorable – except I do believe it, since you’re my little girl, daddy’s little princess. Do you drive me mad […]
As 2015 slowly winds down (I’ve started to write this at the end of November), I find myself moved, as always, to compose my thoughts on the year gone by and jot them down. Where to begin? Work It’s my professional life that has seen the most change this year, with drama from the start. […]
It’s like a switch is thrown in the brains of every managing director, CEO, shop owner and store manager. November 1st is go time for Christmas! Cue festive streamers, signs, lights and even music. The most wonderful time of the year is now the most wonderful two months of the year (and now Christmas is […]
Recently my wife, daughter, step-daughter and her daughter spent a week in Great Yarmouth. It was nice to get away from all the stresses and strains for a short while, and we crammed quite a lot into that week, including swimming, a trip to the Sea Life centre, bouncy castles and a whole lot more! […]
As February slowly gives way to March (crawling slowly on its belly as it happens), I look back upon the first two months of the year with… well, I don’t think regret is the right word but it’s the only word that springs to mind. The two jobs I was especially keen on landing both didn’t work […]
Been on hold with my local council for seven minutes. How much longer do you think I have to wait?
How to merge sci-fi quotes and sayings... May the Force be with us, as we boldly go where no one has gone before...
I'm seeing a lot of man vs bear talk, and by the reactions, it's no surprise that women prefer the bear!
Upcoming Events!
Our calendar is almost complete for the year and we are gearing up to hit the road! Books, guest authors, and more! Make sure you drop by if we are in your area:
I saw a social media post the other week, and it got me thinking. Does bigotry go both ways? If we want to get uber-technical, then it’s entirely possible for a black person to hate white people in general terms, or women to hate men, or for members of the LGBT community to resent those […]
