From an early age, I have had a passion for writing, and often find that I communicate most effectively when putting pen/finger to paper/keyboard. When living in New Zealand, we kept a blog that charted our time there. We even produced our own book that captured our incredible journey home on board an enormous CMA-CGM…

I recently wrote about how much I was looking forward to supporting at a cracking family yoga event in Fulham. Now on the journey home, I can safely say it didn’t disappoint. Om Pop’s Rock I was honoured to join good friends from Here For You For Them who were leading two events. Supported by…

In case you hadn’t noticed, the Christmas holidays are almost upon us. From houses with enough flashing lights to resemble a Heathrow runway to the smell of mulled wine intoxicating the air at Christmas markets all over the country.

It only seems a mo since I was writing my Ready Set Mo blog at the start of Movember. When I first thought of doing Movember, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Slo-mo not fly-mo I had far too lofty ambitions on the top lip front, conjuring up images of a big bushy soup…

It’s International Men’s Day (19 Nov) – a global celebration of the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. This year’s theme is ‘Making a difference for men & boys’. Being a Dad of impressionable twin boys, this resonates with me.  It would be easy to dismiss this as just another celebration…

It’s the halfway stage in my Movember campaign and what a month it’s been so far. With my top lip becoming increasingly furry, people are questioning whether I’m going through a midlife crisis or ‘doing that Movember thing’.
