I recently attended the final match of Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modrić at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. An occasion that will remain etched in my memory. The stadium was at full capacity, with every supporter (opponents included) united in paying tribute to two remarkable individuals who have profoundly shaped the legacy of Real Madrid. From […]

I recently had the pleasure of holidaying in Faro and Albufeira, two gems of the Algarve in Portugal, and it was nothing short of amazing. A trip to the Algarve wouldn’t be complete without venturing out onto the water. One morning, we joined a boat tour that weaved through hidden sea caves and secluded beaches. […]

Just got back from Dubai, where the sun doesn’t just shine, it performs. Think 35°C, UV 11, sea-salty hair, and enough Vitamin D to qualify as solar-powered. I spent most of the days hopping between sea swims and sun loungers, while staying on the beach til’ the sun went down. Tried wake surfing for the […]

On 6th April 2025, we had the pleasure of christening my son at the St Mary the Virgin Church in Kelvedon surrounded by close friends and family.  Finding the entire morning rather entertaining, my son thankfully took this morning as it was intended, cheerfully taking in the attention, prayers, hymns and even the baptism with […]

A few months back, me and three of my dear friends visited the wonderful city of Prague, we had high hopes for this trip, and it certainly lived up to our expectations! We had been planning a city break for some while, choosing between various European cities, before deciding on the Czech capital. It is […]

With pure coincidence I recently managed to tick another one of my “secret” bucket-list, when my wife asked me to accompany her on a brief business trip to Naples, Italy. Pompeii has always been a place I dreamt of visiting but never managed to get to plan along the years, however when my wife asked […]

The weather is finally getting warmer in London, and we are starting to get some sunny days. On one of these sunny days last weekend, I decided to go for a nice walk in Hampstead Heath. It certainly starts to feel more like a good idea to get out of bed early on a weekend […]

I’ve made no secret in the past of my love for going to the theatre and seeing live shows.  A recent birthday treat from a good friend combined both of these when we went to see Come Alive! The Greatest Showman.  You are advised to arrive one hour before the performance starts which is well […]

Non-league football has a buzz of its own for me, which I think surpasses the star-studded Premier League. With the winter weather finally subsiding, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to watch some true grassroots football, something I believe all football fans should experience from time to time. Many smaller clubs are suffering financially due […]

I am sure that some of you reading this can relate to the feeling of having no motivation or energy to stay active regularly. After a few years of encouragement by my brother, I started playing badminton weekly, beginning in August of last year. I have surprised myself with my consistency in staying on track […]

Being a Londoner born south of the river, one of my favourite local destinations I often find myself visiting is Greenwich. Popular with both locals and tourists, Greenwich offers a mixture of green spaces, riverside walks, pubs, and a local market where you can get your hands on a variety of goods, from craft items […]

Any home refurbishment project is liable to take on both a life and a direction of its own unless the scope and detail are nailed down before embarking on it. For example a fairly recent kitchen replacement at our home took as long to agree the detail as to carry out the removal of the […]
