I’ve taken a shed-load of photos in June, mostly on my Galaxy S7, so I thought I would share some of my favourites. It’s worth saying that all these photos have been edited in some way to enhance them, but I usually do this sympathetically to the original image or what I saw with my eyes […]
I must stress that this isn’t a sponsored post in anyway whatsoever. But, I didn’t purchase this PitPat Dog Activity Monitor either. I was sent this nifty little device as a sweetener by a pet insurance company that ran a social media competition to win a GoPro Hero Session. When I enquired as to who had […]
Father’s Day 2018 – you were fabulous in all your normality. No huge fanfare or celebration, just a normal day with my family – just the way I like it. Of course, the day started with Helen getting up first (a rarity when she isn’t working), obviously to gee up the girls and get them ready […]

Over time, though, you […]
Letting go is hard. You may be our third born daughter but these milestone moments never feel any less important to us. Today is a big one for you – your first residential school trip. You are so excited and we for you too. You shall have the most amazing time, we’re sure of that. […]
In my real life – you know the one I live in person and not online – I am often asked how my running is going. It’s friends, acquaintances and sometimes people I might have seen around town but don’t actually know but they know me. I realised when I was asked this very question by […]
Mention a camping holiday to your family, and you may not get the desired response you were looking for.
