Richmond and Running - Two things that I love... And these two things came together on Sunday in the form of the Richmond Half Marathon, culminating in me achieving my first goal of 2014 - that elusive Personal Best (PB)! Sunday's half marathon was my second half of 2014, with the first being the inaugural Hampton Court … Continue reading Richmond and Running

Winter in Dubai
A friend of mine is heading off to Dubai this weekend for some winter sun, inspiring me to write a review of my travels there... I've been 3 times over the last 5 years to visit a couple of friends who are working over there. Dubai is certainly not for everyone. It's man-made.

5 reasons I’m a running bore!
Running has taken over my 2014 so far. Friday nights come and I find myself looking at my watch at 11pm, thinking I should be home, tucked up in bed, ahead of clocking up the mileage on Saturday mornings. Sunday morning's early run club means Saturday nights are equally tainted. Monday mornings arrive and when … Continue reading 5 reasons I’m a running bore!
Happy New You!
Happy New Year to you all! I've never really been one for New Year's Resolutions but last year started a tradition of setting myself some goals for 2013, and committing them to writing. It works!

Having not cooked Beef Wellington in about 5 years (the last time I hosted Christmas), I was a bit nervous... but I'm proud to say that it looked great, … Continue reading Christmas Dinner(s)
A time to reflect
Christmas is a time to reflect. Whether you're religious or not, it's the perfect time to reflect. On the year that's past, the year to come, the good times, and those more troubled times. But also on those less fortunate... 2013 has flown by. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions. It's been a year of experiences, adventures and challenges. … Continue reading A time to reflect

#MysteryNight
Happy Sunday! I've blogged before about #MysteryNight, which my friend Luci and I take it in turns to organise, every month. The 'activity' remains a mystery until the day when we send each other 3 clues on Twitter. I've just booked November's Mystery Night for next weekend and thought I'd quickly cover off the last … Continue reading #MysteryNight
