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.
2024 marks the first Christmas as a family of three for our household. 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. Filling our weekends with trips to supporting local businesses at Christmas markets, purchasing homemade […]
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 […]
Last year, I embarked on a trip to the Island of Kos, Greece, or as some would agree, Paradise. While Kos is best known for its sandy beaches and turquoise waters, it is also enriched with Greek and Roman history and is thought to be the birthplace of the ancient physician Hippocrates. With the possibility […]
Back in early September, 5-months after losing my father to Alzheimer’s, I took part in a charity event: the Memory Walk in Watford’s Cassiobury Park. The forecast leading up to the day had threatened rain, but thankfully that didn’t come to fruition. In fact, the sun broke through the clouds and whilst it was quite […]
As a son of a pair of first-generation Chinese immigrants, I have been told by my father throughout my upbringing that he had moved to England in the 80’s in hopes that his would-be family might be able to grow up with opportunities that he was not afforded in his youth. Having lived through the […]
A lack of time as well as human nature means that we all know the immediate area surrounding our workplaces very well and beyond a few hundred meters less so. Once the working day is over and maybe after some well earned bar time, we go home. What we tend not to do is explore […]
Every year we take a trip down to Dorset, escaping the busy life of London as it offers a chance to relax. One of my most enjoyable things to do is visit Lulworth cove & Durdle Door. Durdle Door is a stunning natural limestone arch located on the Jurassic Coast near Lulworth in Dorset, England. […]
This time last year, I was lucky enough to embark on one of the best experiences of my life. For the month of August 2023 I volunteered at a safari park/game reserve near Port Elizabeth in South Africa. 11 other volunteers from all around the world and myself, stayed in the very heart of the […]
