With so many choices of content to watch nowadays, I often find myself drawn to the lifestyles and biographies of strangers featured on TV or online. I am particularly fascinated by real-life stories as they provide insight into the journeys that people have taken to become who they are today, including the challenges they faced […]

Ah, New Year’s Eve in London- the one night of the year where £3m is spent to fill the city sky with a perfect symphony of light and sound. Yes, it was cold. Not just “oh, better wear a scarf” cold, but “I can’t feel my toes or hands or face” cold. And there I […]

As we continue to move through these colder months, I think we all reflect on when we were “too hot” while abroad. For me, this meant reflecting on last summer when I had the pleasure of travelling around Thailand for just shy of 6 weeks. A place known for its natural beauty, cultural attractions, and […]

Last summer I took a trip to Tropea in Calabria in the South of Italy, with my girlfriend. I’ve always dreamed of going to Italy and after some research, we decided that Tropea would be the perfect blend of culture, history, beach and delicious food. We couldn’t have been more right – Tropea sits on […]

This year, the team headed to London for a delightful and elegant Christmas dinner, all dressed sharply and in style.

With a five-month-old finding all of the lights and events endlessly entertaining we have tried to fill his first Christmas with family and activities for everyone to enjoy.

When earlier this year my wife mentioned that we should go on a safari to Central Africa, as it was on top of her bucket list, little did I imagine how truly impressive this experience would eventually be, and after some slight hesitation upon agreeing I was immediately asked for the credit card details as […]

There will be no awards for guessing the subject matter of this, my latest blog post. Having just returned from visiting two continents for the very first time, North and South America, this blog shall contain a tale or two of my travels and an interesting foreign exchange encounter. It’s unknown whether visiting Peru during […]

On Monday night, our SGM-FX team warmly welcomed our wonderful guests at the Musical Dinner fundraiser for St Paul’s Church Knightsbridge, hosted in the beautiful Ballroom of the Berkeley Hotel.

As a good weekend activity to mark Bonfire Night, I attended the Battersea Park fireworks display this year. I always enjoy getting some fresh air and taking a leisurely walk in the park. The inaugural Battersea Park firework display occurred in 2021 on November 6 and 7; since then, it has become an annual event […]

Waaaay back in April this year I managed to visit Malta, a country that is near and dear to my heart. If you didn’t know, my surname (Bonello) is considered the ‘Smith’ of Malta – a very common name – and whilst I wasn’t born in Malta, my Nanu (Granddad) and my Mum lived there […]
