I’m on holiday this week and spending it based at the Whinfell Forest Center Parcs in the Lake District, I’m looking forward to it a lot as this will be my first Center Parcs experience. Unfortunately I had to hang around in St Annes for a while because I needed...
I’ve been singing this rhyme in the back of my mind for too many days now and finally it happened, a full day of sunshine. I gloried in it as I sat in the window seat at Caffe Nero this morning, alternating between reading, Sudoko and watching the world go...
Amazingly we had sunshine this morning and I woke nice and early, so early in fact that Debbie was still in bed which is a rare treat. When I wake early the only cafe open is Caffe Nero so I headed there for an hours reading and then went for...
I don’t work on Fridays and so to get my frame of mind set right I never think of just Friday, always saying in my mind “rest and relax Fridays” and it works a treat. During the week when I’m feeling a little out of control I just think to...

Today was one of those days that made me feel like a millionaire, a perfect day, one that money could not improve. It started as the best Saturday’s often do with 90 minutes at Caffe Nero, without doubt for me the best place for distraction free reading, comfy chairs, background...
Last night I felt the pain creeping back and the brain fog starting to descend, so I decided on my favourite strategy in times like this, to spend time walking in the peace and beauty of the Lake District. When I woke up I was too groggy to drive so...
