Anyone willing to indulge me in talking about running often ask, “What does it take to complete a 100 mile race?”.  My answer is A LOT of eating while running.  Below is a tried and tested recipe from Feed Zone Portables: A Cookbook of On-The-Go Food for Athletes. Ingredients: 2 cups cooked brown rice 3 […]

After finally having the opportunity to visit at the beginning of last year, and having been twice more since, I’ve concluded that Dubai might just be the best city in the world. Whether you want to visit the tallest skyscrapers, smash the dunes of the desert in an ATV, or simply bask in the sun […]

I find myself standing in the queue ticket in hand not fully convinced that at my big age of 22 years old I should be watching the new Barbie movie… let alone in the cinema! That being said, it was completely packed out and everyone from little to large, young and old was there. And […]

Although the weather in London doesn’t feel much like summertime this year, it’s never a bad time to enjoy a fresh salad and try out a new homemade dressing to go with it! Ingredients (for the dressing) Method

I had always wanted to explore Germany, yet to have had the opportunity, so what better excuse than to go watch Arsenal play against German division 2 side Nuremberg in a preseason friendly. If you’ve ever thought about Nuremberg yet not been, I’d recommend a long weekend. Although the football was disappointing, the town was […]

Out of the house for multiple hours and a (questionably) acceptable reason to have a drink at any time of the day aren’t the only reasons to play golf, but they definitely help. Every weekend I head off full of hope that this will be the round where I break 80 as part of my […]

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 […]
