We were travelling home from Nottingham today, but that didn’t stop us packing a lot in. I was up bright and early and down in breakfast by 6:30 and then on to Caffe Nero by 7. I was back with Debbie and heading to Newark by 10. My Mum lives...
Today is Anna’s first full day of operation of her new, web based, bespoke lingerie shop, shop.redacornfashion.com. She’s worked incredibly hard to build her business on Instagram and now she’s expanded to a professional web presence, which will give her much better insights into her customers browsing and buying habits...
Debbie and I are in Nottingham today, one of the four places that we’ve lived for more than a year and as a result it feels like home. We lived here for our three university years, which were amazing, so it’s always a joy to come back, and I often...
Debbie and I are going to Nottingham today via Cleveleys where we will take a walk along the beach before brunch at my favourite sea-front cafe. Nottingham is a particular favourite of ours for a city break. It’s big enough that there’s lots to see and do, it’s got that...
Chris and I have been trying to arrange a day to cycle the Preston Guild Wheel, a 21 mile cycle path around Preston, it’s taken us a few months but today was finally the day and it turned out just perfect. We arranged to leave at 10am, which gave me...

I'm writing this post on my iPad, it's an experiment to see if I can work successfully without my laptop. If I can then I won't be taking it on holiday with me, when I'm travelling light, for example when I take the megabus to Amsterdam in Septamber. I'm...
I woke up today still feeling rough, although I’d slept better I still had a cold and I was weak, achy and to be honest feeling a bit down. Even sitting in Caffe Nero enjoying my normal morning routine I didn’t feel right, maybe I was missing my friends, maybe...
Last night my alarm clock’s radio switched on all by itself, three times, between around midnight and 2am! The last time it switched on I noticed it humming in tune with my iPhone, so my hypothesis is that the iPhone was too close to the radio’s relay switch and was...
Since I’ve been retired I’ve been very active, I might even say ‘busy’ but not busy enough to stop me washing my car. I did it today for the second time in the last couple of months, which is probably more than I’d previously managed in the last two decades. ...
