This blog is really my professional interests blog, but I now have a lifestyle blog as well which you can find under the Seaside life category. The articles from that category don’t filter up to this home page though so if you want to track them then you need to...
I spend a lot of my time working in Cafe’s. Once or twice a week I find myself at Boaters Landing. I tend to get to Boaters at about 9:30 and unpack my Tablet PC and work there for an hour whilst having my breakfast. I know all of the...
