Some of you may have seen the sanddodgers T-shirt I sometimes wear. Sanddodgers = some friends of mine from university who drove a clapped out Saab to the Gambia to raise money for charity. Well they’re at it again – in the snow this time. Check out www.snowdodgers.co.uk for more info and if you would [...]

Took the boys to the Imperial War Museum on Saturday while Amanda was at a one day conference in Nottingham. London may be an expensive place to live but there’s also a lot of very cool stuff available for free (although it’s nice that the kids are still at the age where even getting on [...]

Here’s one of my favourite performances (KT Tunstall playing on Jools Holland’s show): A couple of thoughts: You can get great results with less than you’d think – as long as you’re willing to think outside the box Most of the great musicians are outside the church and it’s about time the church started figuring out how to reach [...]

You can call me sad if you like, but there’s some exciting news. The new grass is growing at last! Our lawn (or rather the muddy patch of earth with a few clumps of meadow grass on it) has always bugged me. A few weeks ago I decided to take some action and sow some [...]

I’d forgotten how great this city is when the sun is out! As I was walking through one of our (many) local parks with the sun shining I was prompted to [...]

Here are some thoughts from a friend who either has had more thoughts than me recently or he has more time on his hands. I’ll let you decide which

I don’t know about you but sometimes I come across things which I know are true but I’d rather they weren’t. Like the table of nutritional values on the side of a Snickers bar. Or the little voice that tells me I need to do some exercise if I’m ever going to get back into my [...]

Been a busy but productive season recently. Seems all I have time to blog at the moment is obituaries. Here’s another petrolhead who’s finished his final race. Evel Knievel – the legendary leaper himself – passed away yesterday after several years of a debilitating lung disease. The really interesting thing is that only this week I [...]

I just heard of Colin McRae’s passing. He died in a helicopter crash yesterday along with his 5 year old son and two family friends. For non-petrolheads, Colin was a rally driving legend and the first British person to the win the World Rally Championship. He was 39. Prayers go out for family and friends. The [...]
