Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
It’s seems only like yesterday when my time watching Manchester City was one of low (but realistic expectation). I had accepted that I would never see them win the Premier League and clung onto only the faintest of hopes of any sort of Cup success. Of course the world has changed a little since then, […]
A short while ago I innocently answered an email from Paul that he sent to check out what I was doing towards the back end of May. I replied promptly as I thought he might have been wanting to arrange some childcare for his two young children … it turned out it wasn’t childcare he […]
Off for a run: Although the title of this post is going for a run, in truth its not me that will be going for a run, it’s my younger brother Paul. In fact it’s really a bit more than a run, because he’s doing his second Ultra Marathon in May. This one is called […]

There are a couple of posts on this Blog about a book I wrote and self published earlier this year (2016) – WHAT IF YOU DON’T BREAK DOWN Since then a few people have asked me how is the book doing and are you writing another, so I thought I would answer that with this […]
A few weeks back I had taken Daniel at his request for a ‘long walk’ and wrote a post about the grandparents unwritten job description here. Not surprisingly he wanted to go for another walk but this time the weather was a bit colder and a bit wetter. However there are some things that you […]
It’s been that time of the year again when a quick look at the Grandparents ‘job description’ indicates that you best get some pumpkins bought and get the carving knife out. A short video message to Daniel and Emma confirmed that they did indeed want to call and do the pumpkins for I think, the […]
