The online playground of a digiatal cowboy and consummate athlete.
Last weekend saw me complete my second running event of 2024, the Marriott’s Way Trail Marathon put on by Positive Steps. It was 26 miles (41.84 kilometres) of mud filled disused railway route from Norwich out to the Norfolk town of Aylsham. As is the case with these events, I plan my race, not only from the food and calorie intake but also the entertainment to help take my mind off the dark...

You see, both Sean and I had recently surmised that our childhood had in part been the longest and best planned house hunt. A region by region tour of France, but with mum and dad’s future retirement plan in the...
It is hard to believe it has only been a year. So much has changed and yet so little at the same time. The New Year is the time that many sit and make resolutions and plan improvement for the coming year. Maybe it is time to reframe our thoughts and look at it differently this time around.
