Debbie and I have a Saturday routine, I walk to Caffe Nero for a couple of hours, do my reading, play some games and then do some shopping. Then we drive to Cleveleys, go out for lunch and then watch a movie. Today was the Monument Men, which is probably...
I’ve been spending a lot of time with my boss today, just watching him is exhausting, but unusually I’ve been exhausting myself as well. My day started early at 6:30 followed by 30 minutes meditation and chasing around sorting the house out, then it was into the car to drive...
Not working much I focus on impact and today was one of those days. It started as usual waking up early so that I had time for 30 minutes meditation before heading to Caffe Nero for an hours reading. Then heading to the doctors for my normal monthly blood tests...
Last night just as everyone, except Anna, had got off to sleep she managed to set off the fire alarm upstairs, the first time it’s ever gone off and through a pretty weird series of events. Anna was in the bath, relaxing by candle light when all the wax managed...
During the last weeks holiday I’ve accumulated a huge work and personal reading backlog which I was determined to clear today, that meant some serious cafe time. I started at the Beach Terrace Cafe first thing, I’d not been for 10 days and they’ve changed their philosophy a bit, apparently...

I started with a cold on Tuesday, but I think the combination of not eating much and pushing myself hiking suppressed my immune system a bit and I seemed fine until last night (little sleep) and worse this morning (full on cold, fatigue and pain). Still I was in a...
My last full day at Center Parcs and the weather gods have smiled on me, Buttermere is scheduled to be dry most of the day. I’m starting with a cold so I didn’t sleep very well, which meant a late start and after the hours drive I arrived at about...
Despite my plan to go to Buttermere yesterday, I woke up this morning and decided to go to Haweswater Resevoir instead, for two reasons, most importantly I checked the weather forecast and it predicted a dry morning for east Cumbria and wet for west and second because I fancied the...
I’m on my second day at Center Parcs, taking advantage of it’s off season prices and proximity to the Northern Lakes. I got up early and after making myself a hearty fry up I headed to the Steamer Pier at Glenridding at the southern tip of Ullswater. Yesterday I’d walked...
