I’m not a sentimental person. I have a few things I’ve kept such as cards from when I left Peterborough or nice e-mails people have sent me but I don’t really become attached to things…especially cars. I’m proud to say that I’ve never named a car nor really thought of it beyond something that’s practical   Read More …

So it’s almost a week since we began 2011 and so far it’s been a pretty good year! For me 2010 was great…beyond the obvious highlight of getting married I was also finally able to put out an album which personally was a huge thing…I don’t really care if people have listened to it but   Read More …

Today ‘The Sun’ had an article containing the diary of a couple who lived 300 miles apart and it got me thinking about long distance relationships (Sun article here).

As followers on Twitter will know we received our wedding photos this week.

It feels like ages since I clicked onto this blog to actually post anything (although my blog tells me that in reality it’s only 8 days)…however it’s been a very busy 8 days! In 4 days time (Saturday) Jo and me get married! It barely seems like yesterday that we got engaged in Italy and   Read More …

On Friday night I had my first Casino experience. For Lucy’s 21st a group of us headed up to the Hull branch of ‘Napoleons’ to celebrate! The only experiences I’ve ever had of gambling come from 2 very different perspectives. The first perspective is that of the tacky gamble…I grew up being taken to holiday   Read More …

Last night Jo and myself went to Manchester to see The King Blues play on their headline tour. I got into The King Blues just over a year ago and love their blend of ska and acoustic punk combined with fantastic, passionate lyrics.

I have a love/hate relationship with London…I got quite used to the business of our capital city   Read More …
