My usual cycling lanes just named amongst “top 5 rides in the UK”
It speaks volumes about how you take what is in your own backyard for granted, although I daresay I’m less guilty than most. I have ridden these roads 100s of times, especially when I worked in Stratford. Can’t wait to get back out there 🚴

Practicing what I preach
I bought a couple of bottles of this award winning Champagne at Morrisons when they dropped the price from £18 to £14. This weekend they dropped it again to £9.99 so I bought 5 yesterday (all their stock in store) and another 10 today. 🍾 It’s not spending money it’s saving money if you think…

Okay, maybe you were momentarily caught up with other concerns but now might be a good time to regain some perspective. So where is the UK’s wine buyer’s hot spot? Well brace yourself for a contrarian answer:…

Back to front
Your front stage is only as good as your backstage allows it to be. Over time both are being upgraded in my home. Here’s the new look airing cupboard and my new recycling container for the kitchen. I’ve “upcycled” the old one which unfortunately, the cat enjoyed stropping. It now houses gardening tools in the…

Air Max 90
For years I have coveted a special pair of these iconic shoes. It felt like a missing piece in my collection, and it has taken 2 years to find something that I love in my size. These fit the bill perfectly 🙂

Preview
After 4 years in the house (and a year’s delay due to you know what) the living room’s transformation has now began. The net effect won’t be clear until the room is put back together but the flagship artworks are mounted. Love them 😍 The vision for Squirrel Lodge has taken another great leap forward…

Boat has a home and gym is restored
It wasn’t fun but it was necessary: my garage has been extensively rearranged to accommodate my boat ⛵ I’m not sure it looks as good now but it is a garage, functional has to come first. I’ve had to move a rack full of 🍾 into the house. Actually looks pretty sweet in its new…

Sea Captain James
You only ever become a Sea Captain once. Ok, canal and lake Captain (which doesn’t sound quite as cool let’s be honest). It will be a few weeks (at least) before I’m out on the high seas but it was exciting to get my first boat ⛵ delivered, half way through an online class no…
