As a UK lifestyle blogger I write about everyday things that interest me. You’ll find restaurant reviews, product reviews and other content surrounding days out, events and my other random experiences! I am a Milton Keynes blogger so you’ll also find a lot of Milton Keynes blog posts here however I do cover all areas of the UK with plenty of blog posts from London.
So the last 3 months have been pretty crazy for me which has meant no time for any blogging or anything except offline living. Well ladies and gents, the good news is that I’m back in business and ready to get back online! Back in November I sold my house […]
I’m going to be moving house in a few weeks time into a property where the garage exists within the 4 walls, not separate to the house. With two cars and a double driveway, the garage will be going to waste so naturally I want to maximise the value of […]
Being rather bored a few weekends ago I set myself a 1 hour challenge to create a no-frills attached website from scratch. The aim was to build something, primarily for myself which I would find entertaining from time to time and that was dynamic. Certainly nothing particularly fancy. 1 hour […]
I’ve owned a few cars in my time. The ones that I have owned I’ve taken good care of and loved each of them in their own special way… except for Burt… but more about that later. Each of my cars tend to get given a pet name (“call sign” […]
Call sign: “Pearl” Having lived with the Seat Leon for what seemed like an eternity and with some cash back in the bank following buying a house I felt the need to return to owning a performance car. It was an inevitable consequence of coming back into money after spending […]
Call Sign: “Burt”, “Slug” Now this car was neither love at first sight, nor a car that I ever really learned to love during my time with it. The Leon was a means to an end that I had to put up with. In fact when I imagine an old […]
Call Sign: “Beetle”, “Panther” Having landed my first job out of university it was only a few months before I upgraded from my Ford Fiesta to a car which I’d wanted to own since 16 years of age – a 3 door, black metallic paint, air conditioned, 2005 (55 plate) […]
Call Sign: “Fester” The first car I ever owned was a silver 1.3 Ford Fiesta, S-reg (1997) which quickly became known as “Fester” – creative I know. The Fiesta was bought for me and my sister to share by my parents so I was driving it from 17 years of […]
This weekend brought about the best weather of the year so far in Leighton Buzzard with Saturday peaking at 16 degrees and today topping out at 19 degrees. So what better way to spend my Sunday than washing the car, going for a drive and finishing the day in a […]
I am due to move house in the next few weeks with a split completion date. This means moving out of my current house and then not moving into my new house for several weeks. Due to this I’ve been trying to cancel my existing Sky+ HD, telephone and broadband […]
Happy Birthday to me. 29 today!
Last weekend I had a rather detailed conversation with some of my 60 year old family friends about men’s health and dry skin. So what better than to this weekend receive a gift from my family as a continuation of the conversation and birthday present joke in the shape of […]
What better way to spend the evening after a long week at work than by keeping things simple and meeting up with my other half for a nice meal and a few drinks. Being in London there are thousands of restaurants and pubs to choose from so it’s always great […]
When Alfonso Cuarón‘s latest motion picture, Gravity (2013) emerged in cinemas a few months ago (released 7th November 2013), the trailers really didn’t make me jump out of my seat to get down the cinema and part with my cash. Considering Alfonso had directed the likes of Great Expectations (1998) and […]
My 9-5 exists in London meaning that as a Bedfordshire guy I must undertake the daily commute with London Midland. For years I put off getting a job in London as the thought of early starts, late nights home and the hammering of my wallet couldn’t justify it. I know […]
And so it begins. After months, if not years of procrastination and to-ing and fro-ing over whether or not to start a blog the time has finally arrived to take the plunge. As with most new bloggers the fear of not knowing what to write, who to write for and […]
