The month of July welcomes Wimbledon, the oldest tennis tournament in the world, to the capital. The crowds flock to SW19 in anticipation ready to watch the world’s greatest tennis players go head-to-head on grass, competing in what is widely regarded as the most prestigious competition of them all.  Having previously partaken in the very British tradition […]

This blog is going back to a holiday just before the pandemic locked down the UK. I had a ‘trip of a lifetime’ booked in mid-Feb 2020 and whilst Covid news was mainly focused on China and the steady increase into Europe, it seemed a world away from affecting us (little did we know!). The […]

Time for a quiz: what do carrots, broccoli, garlic, raspberries and cauliflower all have in common. Wrong, they are not just mainstay within the diet of our vegan friend Michael, they are also the vegetables (and one pesky fruit) that have caused great existential angst. For those of you quite rightly questioning why I’ve been […]

Theatre is a large part of the cultural make-up of Malta. From Shakespeare to Noel Coward, and from original Maltese plays to pantomime, Malta has it all. For such a small island, the theatrical variety on offer is quite amazing, and with performances played in both Maltese and English, they are accessible to a large proportion […]

Having always lived in Malta and surrounded by our beautiful sea and varied shoreline, it was natural to love the sea and the peacefulness that it can give us humans. At various stages of my life I was lucky to enjoy having a variety of boats to further enjoy the sea and out at shore, […]

Gozo, Malta’s lesser-known sister island is a short ferry ride away from the mainland and is known as the quieter island, with far less habitation and a lot more unspoilt countryside. As such, it’s the perfect backdrop to the Xterra Ultra, a 50km trail race circumnavigating the island which features every year on my running […]

As regular readers of the SGM-FX Daily Brief know, I am a music fan and although not a regular concert goer, I like to go to big name concerts whenever I get the opportunity. Having been a fan of Elton John’s since the early 70’s when he was producing arguably some of his finest songs […]

Each morning I hear my alarm clock going off.  The unexpected but at the same time expected sound that takes me from the dreamland to the real world to start my daily routine. Getting ready to go to work, making breakfast for the family, helping the kids with their uniforms and lunch boxes and a […]

Following the interesting and certainly diverse blogs on here from my colleagues, I knew I had to go big with my one. So, I decided to enter and compete in one of the biggest fitness races ever held with over 7,500 athletes attending across 2 days. And it was right here in London. You probably […]

Mushroom Broth Garnish Method Enjoy!

I have forever flicked between interests. Growing up I was a devout football player, before putting my then 5’7″ frame to good use playing basketball, and then American football, and then a plethora of other sports I would dip in and out of. I have read and authored, cooked and danced (often simultaneously). Now though, […]

Avid readers of our SGM-FX company news page will notice a theme of my colleagues taking dramatic and life changing decisions.  Getting married, having a child, and supporting Tottenham to name a few.  There must be something in the water around these parts because after only 6 months of employment at SGM I too have […]
