I’m in London today for a seminar hosted by Chris Kresser, who’s done the most in my life (except my Mum) to inspire me to push through my health challenges and live the best life I can. He’s an amazing individual and right up their with Mark Sisson’s in trying...
I’m at a seminar tomorrow which starts too early in the morning for me to travel on the day, as a result the trip ended up being crazily expensive as I didn’t realise that this was the end of the school holidays, so the train was expensive and the hotel...
This has been my second trip to London in the last week and my third trip in the last three months, it’s too much, my tolerance for London is quite limited. The more time I spend there, the more I realise what a dysfunctional place it is, one of great...
It was raining when I woke up this morning and unlike some of my friends I’m a fine weather ‘outdoorsman’ so I stayed inside and watched Madame Secretary, one of my favourite TV shows. I particularly like the family and workplace dynamics and although it’s all ridiculously simplified to fit...
It’s one of my favourite times of year, when I can enjoy an afternoon walk with glorious sunsets. I like something to tempt me out of the house, Caffe Nero does that in the morning and sunsets do it in the afternoon, star/moonlight does it in the evening. This morning...

I had a strange dream last night that I was in a pub meeting someone that I knew from school, as the night wore on dozens of other old school ‘friends’ arrived, people I’d not seen for well over 30 years. Each of them had been nicely aged by my...
I needed a rest today, I’m being sensible, but rest days are boring days too. I’m much happier active, but I tried to make the best of relaxation. I woke nice and early at 6:30 but then snuggled down for another 45 minutes or so, still getting up in good...
Anna and I both had a great nights sleep, that’s what comes from 30,000 step days and lots of fresh air! We had breakfast at the Premier Inn, which was excellent as expected, but very busy, and predictably I ate much too much. We then decided to walk to Oxford...
Anna and I converged on Preston today, me from St Annes and her from Lancaster where she was attending a surprise birthday party for Matt. Thom dropped her off and then popped into Caffe Nero where he briefly met me as I was leaving for the station. We enjoyed the...
