Am I Becoming Vegetarian?
Am I becoming a vegetarian? That’s one question I truly thought I would never be asking myself. I grew up in a working-class family, my earliest memory of my Dad’s job was as a driver for a local farm. I also remember spending Saturdays with him in the truck going to the local abattoir (although […]
What Is American Gun Violence Teaching Our Children?
What is American gun violence teaching children? As I write this post the news headlines are dominated by the latest mass shooting in America.

Am I Still A YouTuber?
You may or may not know that I also have a YouTube channel. To be honest The Yorkshire Dad channel came before the blog, even though I’ve blogged for quite some time I never really focused on the written word. I then changed my Instagram name to match and my on-line persona grew. I was […]
Love Charity Shops, Kids

Last night I experienced something I hadn’t experienced before. Initially, it made me laugh, but then I thought about it and the funny side soon wore off. You see I was doing an Instagram Live (not something I do a lot) while I was shaving my head (I know – I’m just crazy) and someone […]
