In addition to running, I also enjoy taking the time to read a good old fashion three-dimensional book. Here is a review of my latest: Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos” is a timeless journey through the vastness of the universe that transcends its original television series format to become a masterpiece in popular science literature. Originally published in […]

Every year my wife and I try and get away for trips to different areas of the UK. Out of all the places that we visit, we find ourselves returning down to Cornwall where we can explore so many different and stunning areas all within such close distance of each other. Whilst I cannot do […]

I was recently lucky enough to visit Santorini. A Greek Island based in the southern Aegean Sea famous amongst visitors for its stunning sunsets, whitewashed buildings with blue domes and crystal-clear waters.  Staying in Fira, the capital of the island, I was easily able to navigate my way around using the very reasonably priced and […]

As is annual tradition at SGM-FX, every January we hold a Bake-Off competition.  I’ve been lucky enough to have been placed a few times but imagine my delight (and amazement!) when I was voted 1st prize this year for my blueberry and pear galette.  If you like a not too sweet, easy to make, treat, […]

You should have deduced from our employee blogs that there are a few fairly competent athletes within the hallowed walls of SGM-FX and SGM-FX Malta. You should not mistake my contributions to those blogs for evidence that I would exude even a bead of competency within a sporting arena. I’m the proud holder of the […]

After 15 hours travel it was touchdown in Lusaka. A sense of relief passed over me but I knew that the travel hadn’t ended there. We had another hour and a half internal flight to get to Mfuwe, our final destination in the wonderful Luangwa Valley. Boarding the rickety twin prop operated by Proflight™, a company partly […]

October is knocking at our doorstep, and it is the month of the yearly Rolex Middle Sea Race, probably the most important event our majestic grand harbour has, for the past few years, started to host as the starting point. Over 100 sailing boats, from the world class trimarans and monohulls to the 30 metre […]

My partner and I had always planned to get a dog, but as with many big decisions it never seemed like quite the right time. But a few years ago, the sudden and unexpected loss of a good friend reminded us life really could be too short and it was time to take the plunge. […]

Having been fortunate enough to have driven some of the greatest coast roads in the world, it was with some anticipation that I set out from Inverness in June 2021. Not that I was expecting the northernmost part of Scotland to be like the Great Ocean Road in Southern Australia, nor like Highway One on […]

One of the most exciting things when you are a child is to have the opportunity to go camping. Well, my sons have been asking me for ages to do it and finally my husband and I agreed to make it possible. Getting some fresh air while spending some quality time with the family sounded […]

Have you ever had a moment in life that was both embarrassing and unforgettable? Well, for me that moment was my first attempt at one of my current hobbies, tennis. Let me tell you up front, it wasn’t love at first sight. I was about 12 years old, on vacation with my family in the […]
