Love? Life? Joy!
Some people are shits aren’t they? I would like to say that this isn’t now I truly feel. I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’d like to say maybe it’s that we’re too similar, or our personalities clash, or maybe they are having a bad day. But let’s face it, some people are deep down miserable,...

I recently made a major decision that will change my life. Since then, other parts of my life have really improved. Everything around me has taken on the glisten of wonderment that I hadn’t seen there previously. So, its probably about time I told the world. Or, at least, those in it who don’t already know… I’m moving to China.... Read the rest of this post...

Typically, music documentaries feature high-profile, big name bands. I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that you’ve never heard of Heavy Load – I hadn’t until I saw it at the Cornwall Film Festival a few years ago. It’s one of those films that’s best viewed if you don’t know much about it; but if I... Read the rest of this post...

‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain’. When you’re in a storm in life, it’s easy for others to quote the above words of wisdom, I mean they’re beautiful, aren’t they? But while dancing in the rain sounds poetic when the waters are calm, it’s much easier said than done. This... Read the rest of this post...

Last week, I was struck down with a very horrible, unrelenting bout of flu. I was bed-bound for the first three days, sleeping for upwards of 18 hours of the day, only waking up when the painkillers ceased working. I drank pints upon pints of squash, all the variations of tea and honey I could muster from our extensive tea... Read the rest of this post...

There are times in our lives when Murphy’s Law seems to be in full effect, and everything that can go wrong really does go wrong. Perhaps money gets tight or you encounter constant failure. Or maybe a loved one is lost. Or a medical report comes back with terrible news. Either way, these experiences can have you questioning a lot,... Read the rest of this post...

When I was a baby my parents had nothing. All their belongings were in a couple of bin liners and we lived in a run-down house with no carpet in a dodgy neighborhood. My dad worked around the clock to support my mum who was taking care of me at home. They were very young and I had been an unexpected bundle of Joy!

Today, I found myself in a situation I didn’t really want to be in – it was a situation that was going to hurt and upset a very old friend. It was a situation that had me backed into a corner and there was no way out but to be brutally honest and take the punches. But it got me... Read the rest of this post...

We go about our daily lives with the world buzzing around us; and yet, we often take for granted how much can happen in a single day. Sometimes, particularly on a working day, life can feel a bit repetitive. ‘Am I getting anywhere or just repeating the same day?’ Whenever this question enters my head, I am most certainly taking for...

Yesterday, something awesome happened in England and Wales. Yesterday, same sex marriage became legal. David Cameron, this is the first good thing you have done for this country. Well done. We still have a long way to go of course – educating school children to try and stamp out prejudice. Even educating adults about one simple fact – whether couples... Read the rest of this post...
