It was Steph’s birthday today, last year she spent her birthday in Japan, this year it was Amsterdam but at least I was with her today. I had a good nights sleep last night and woke about 8am, I’d bought breakfast with me so I had that sitting in front...
I’ve been to Amsterdam several times, but always in business and I’ve never really had the chance to get a feel for the place. I arrived yesterday by megabus.com and Steph met me off the coach. It was incredibly nice to be greeted as I was quite nervous and...
I’ve had a fantastic day today which has really surprised me as I was very nervous about spending a day on a bus. Jennie dropped me off at Preston Victoria at 1:30 and we left about an hour later as our bus was running late, but there were plenty of...
It’s a rare sight to meet the incoming tide in the morning, so there was little choice about today’s photo. I woke at about 8am and headed out as soon as possible as it was a glorious day. I walked to Fairhaven Lake and then back through the dunes to...
I’m gradually transitioning to a more plant focused version of the Paleo diet, or perhaps it’s just easier to think of it as a wholefood diet. My evening meal is already heavily focused on green leafy vegetables, my lunch is nut’s seeds and toasted oats, my breakfast tends to be...

I’ve been patient, steadfastly waiting for an iPhone that felt like a real upgrade to my trusty 4S and the 6S finally convinced me. It’s a phone that has the power, RAM (2GB) and storage (128GB) to be a real travelling companion and boy is it fast. This year I...
Every 8 months I go to the dentist and hold my breath, I worry that I’m going to loose another tooth or that I’ve got some other serious problem. The last time I visited he told me my gums were receding and that I might need some kind of coating...
Mum went home today after another morning full of activity. We swam, relaxed, cycled, fuelled up at Lytham kitchen, walked around Park For You and along green drive and then back along the millionaires prom the green, before cycling home. My version of a triathlon, and I need a rest...
I am feeling so much better, it’s almost difficult to imagine how bad I was only a few days ago, but that’s obviously the difference that being on a low stable dose of meds does to my brain rather than a declining one! Mum is over for two days and...
