Falling out of love, with Football

Today is the one year anniversary since the London 2012 Olympics. I’ve said how much before I enjoyed it but what I didn’t realise at the time would be how it changed sport for me and it seems I’m not the only one.

Food Waste – I don’t buy it.

No, today is the day when we get a supermarket home delivery.  This is a rare occurrence for us and is our first since possibly… Continue reading Food Waste – I don’t buy it.

A Guided tour walk around my neighbourhood

I love to walk whenever I can and I am fortunate that I live pretty much on the last street of the huge sprawl of London. I might not have as much as I want but I do have countryside almost on my door step so when I have time this is one of my… Continue reading A Guided tour walk around my neighbourhood
