So 2013 is fast approaching and I have realised that in the way most people have to budget money – I am amongst these most people – I also seriously have to budget time.
I used to be very organised. I used to have a lot less to do with my time. In 2011, I started [...]
As I type, photographs are dropping from my camera onto my laptop, about 500 of them between 3 cards I think. I have been in Brittany, for two days.
I love Brittany – most people who know me, know this. But it has to take some rare form of crazy to go there for just 2 [...]
I’m pretty sure I’ve written about the pleasure I get from free DVDs now and again. I’m not talking about whatever movie the Mail on Sunday is using to persuade you to buy a copy of their paper because I never have, but about the DVDs which tend, on occasion, to come with watersports magazines.

this was growing in my garden. In fact, it stopped growing in my garden today.
It was very lovely by the way. I really, really liked it.
You’ll find those lovely hoodies in the Animal shop as far as I remember. I can’t remember what street it was on but it’s on the way towards Fistral as far as I remember.
