Along with an estimated 2 billion people worldwide, I watched the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton earlier this morning. From everything one reads and hears they are both really lovely people, and make such a wonderful couple. Here is wishing them the very best for the future, and praying that they have a very … Continue reading »
I have been writing, I promise! On paper at least. I was in Kenya for a week and just didn’t get a chance to upload anything. Anyhoo, let me tell you a bit about my trip. Since 2008 my company has supported a charity called Teach Africa, which facilitates further education for primary school children … Continue reading »
Following up on that comment at the end of my last post to do with writing more often, I’m sure it didn’t escape your notice that 2010 was my least prolific year on record! I am hoping to remedy that, and now the good people here at WordPress have a great initiative going on to encourage … Continue reading »
After being away from the gym for a couple of weeks after Christmas, it was hilarious to be back in my spinning class on the first working day of the year… …and trust me, not just because I knew the pain afterwards would be really something (as it turns out, two days later my quads felt like someone … Continue reading »
The Times is my favourite newspaper…by an absolute mile and a half. I used to read all my daily news on the paper’s website, and would then delve into the columns..from India Knight to William Rees-Mogg, Caitlin Moran to Ann Treneman.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas…it really does seem that January has come round much sooner than I expected! If you were around last year, … Continue reading »
Today was my Sports Day. Well, that’s a tad misleading. Not that I was taking part myself – certainly not in the persistent rain! No…I spent my afternoon watching the British Grand Prix, wringing my hands and sitting on the edge of my sofa. As you can probably guess I was rooting for Lewis Hamilton all … Continue reading »
I found this fantastic article on Times Online about facebook: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/men/article4249605.ece Although I’m signed up to the ubiquitous social networking site, I have to admit that my enthusiasm has waned somewhat since I first signed up last October. It was amusing at first; seeing how many of my friends were already ‘initiated’, browsing through the myriad … Continue reading »
The fact that you’re reading this is proof that you made it through 2007 in one piece. And I don’t know about you, but that alone – forget for a minute the things we usually consider important: jobs, homes, cars, money – is reason enough for me to thank God. 2007 was a strange year … Continue reading »
