Not a great start to the day (it is Friday 13th after all)…
In my attempt at being more of an Eco-warrior I have ditched my car in favour of cycling, training it in or if I have loads to carry then I jump in a taxi. Collectively this is all far better for the environment [...]

In my previous post I mentioned my passport which reminded me that just after my birthday in 2001 I had a passport-related nightmare which could have affected the way my fellow Londoners experience Tube travel…
I was due to go on holiday (to the Maldives) a couple of days later and while gathering up stuff for my suitcase [...]

Today is the International Day of Climate Action. I’ve written in the past the quandaries that I often find myself in as a modern citizen of the world. I like to consume but realise the impact of what I like doing contributes to more ppm CO2 in our precious atmosphere.
I like to travel all over [...]

This week I became something that I haven’t been for 13 years… a cyclist.
Having totally failed at my recent gym visiting attempt (stats: three visits / seven months / £640 = £213 per visit [ouch]) I was inspired by a cyclist colleague in the office to get on a bike. With the prompting of inspirational [...]

In a massive traffic jam on the M25 having been picked up from T5 by a taxi driver. So a Grumped moment is at my finger tips…
Milan trip was good. I even managed to catch a bit of the old part of the city with a late night walk followed by an alfresco beer with [...]

I have lost count of the number of flights that I taken in my life. For the last ten years I have spent loads of time on planes travelling all over the place for work – I have been to some amazing places as a result.
I was actually quite late to taking flight. The first [...]

Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Venice, it is one of the most wow factor places I have ever been to – I loved it. The place is totally chaotic, falling down and just so desperately beautiful and romantic. It seems to cast its spell on everyone – everywhere you look are [...]

I write this post as I hurtle along on the Eurostar back to London having spent a full week with a client at a congress in the capital of Europe (and Belgium): Brussels. This is probably at least my thirtieth trip and time and time again it’s just amazing how this city continually fails to [...]
