2021 Notes on Covid, Yarmouth, Hockey, Gigs and More
So here I am on my highly neglected, largely redundant personal web site. I enjoy flicking through the old postings, pre-Facebook, with how my life was 20 years ago and the beautiful photos of Becca and Jamie and various milestones. So, a quick resume of where I am in December 2021 maybe? If you are…

Work Trip to Chandigarh, India
I was recently invited by my work colleague Darren House from Trading Depot to join him on a trip to India to meet up with a prospective new web design agency for their upcoming projects. After I had gotten over my surprise at the approach he was taking, he quite rightly pointed out that the…

Hockey Coaching, Playing and Work
Another busy week to keep me out of mischief, mostly working but all enjoyable and almost enough to get me out of bed on time. Hockey Coaching I was really excited about this. For almost the first time in 20 years I used my level 1 hockey coaching qualification. Unfortunately my good friend Mark has…

Home Networking Upgrades
It has been a while since I’ve regularly blogged and since then, R & J have tipped over into double figures and thus heavy data and device usage. I have the best broadband from Virgin Media at 200mbps (though on checking it turns out not the best, they now have a whopping 362mbps!) yet we…

Walk in the Woods – Buzzard
Half term this week, and I was lucky enough to have today off to be with Rebecca and Jamie. Whilst lying in bed, I was wondering what to do with them today, however, when I finally hauled myself out and downstairs, R & J had already decided – “Can we go on a wildlife walk…

Off to watch the hockey
Off with the usual suspects to watch some semi final hockey at the olympics today … Sadly not the GB team. I’ve arrived at chalfont and latimer station rather early so thought i’d write another blog on my phone… Yesterday was another great day with r and j, we spent most of the day doing…

Denham Country Park
Checked the weather forecast today and it said fine until 2pm this afternoon, so decided to explore Denham Country Park. I’d never been there before and knew very little about it except for what is available on the web site. It is a sister park to Black Park which we went to last week for…
