Life's about experiences. These are mine.
While visiting friends over the weekend they took us to somewhere that I have to admit that I’d never even heard of – The Sculpture Park near Churt in Surrey. It turned out to be a hidden gem. As the name suggests the Sculpture Park is home to several hundred works of art which are set …
My second and last day in Szczecin was mostly spent in meetings but I did manage to get out and walk through the park opposite the offices to the rather amazing Amfiteatr which is, as the name suggests an open air theatre in the shape of an amphitheatre.

Hi ho, hi ho it’s back off to Szczecin I go! I’m here for work and the amount of time I get to spend here is dictated not by how long I need to be here necessarily but by the Ryanair timetable. They (and they are the only carrier to fly direct UK to Szczecin) fly …

London is an amazing place to visit and is eminently walkable if the weather’s fine and you’re up for it. This was us yesterday when we went up to celebrate Helen’s birthday. We were going up for a cinema trip, more of which later, and had the whole day to kill before it. The weather …
We’ve been doing the Florida Disney trips for so long now that people have started asking us for advice on planning their own holidays. I have been sending this information out to people that wanted it via email but I thought that it might be useful to put this together in a blog post. This …

I don’t think that I have ever been able to walk from my house to a gig before, well not since I was at university perhaps. But last night we were able to do just that as we went to see Dean Friedman live at Shinfield Players Theatre. It seemed like an odd choice of …
