ABI – The Birth!
As some of you may know, back in January I found myself on notice from my shiny new job. Sometimes life changes direction really quickly! But I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and for a while now I have had a desire to focus on the things that I feelContinue reading “ABI – The Birth!”
When you walk through a storm…
Well hi there, its been a while hasn’t it! What a great line from the best song – You’ll never walk alone. Not only have I sung that to death for my beloved Reds, but its words have certainly rung true recently! To be honest I haven’t felt like writing as its been a tryingContinue reading “When you walk through a storm…”
Mothers Day….
Mothers day. The most beautiful day of the year and also the hardest. For me it’s the worst day of the year. Worse than birthdays. Because it’s everywhere. Every shop you enter is a constant reminder and a kick in the stomach. But let me be clear. It absolutely should be the most important dayContinue reading “Mothers Day….”

Kyoto – a step back in time…
Kind and beautiful Kyoto… Konichiwa all. Morning. I’m currently sitting in a coffee shop in Kyoto train station awaiting my bullet train back to Tokyo. I’m feeling a bit emotional to be honest. Let me explain why. I was here in Japan on business. The last week was spent at a conference in Tokyo. ThatContinue reading “Kyoto – a step back in time…”
Singapore, Sleep and the last days of Summer…
Hey all, Happy Sunday! Just a little update on what has been going on since we spoke 2 weeks ago. If I remember, I wrote to you all when I was heading to the airport for my trip to Singapore for work. I was not exactly enthusiastic about my trip – until I gotContinue reading “Singapore, Sleep and the last days of Summer…”
Well, what did you do then?
That is the question I will hear a lot over the next few weeks. Why? Well for the second year in a row I have taken most of August off. Not too strange I hear you cry. Most people do that, go away with their family and friends to far flung or sunny places. Not me.Continue reading “Well, what did you do then?”
