Creativity, curiosity, and code
One of my favourite films is Pixar’s Toy Story…the first all-CGI feature-length movie, and a very cool buddy story. I’m assuming knowledge of the story here so please forgive me if you’ve not seen it (and GO see it!). I’m having a bit of a Toy Story moment. My old Raleigh bike (who I’ve taken […]
I’m a bit of a political animal. Not very much but a bit. I think politics is important and I think we should all be involved in the political process so I try to do my bit by taking an interest, writing to my MP about issues that concern me and…very importantly…voting! Today is local […]
Sally’s been Freecycling! Freecycling is a term used for giving old stuff away. Internet groups exist, usually for a given location, such as a town. People post on these groups messages to say “I’m giving something away” and others respond to the group with “Yes, I’ll have that please”, and then they come round and […]
I wanted to write a short tribute to a man, a legend to those who knew him, who has inspired me on a bit of my life journey. Peter Amey died on the 4th April after a long and difficult fight with cancer. He was stoic throughout and his Blog, if it’s still there when […]
The songs have really fallen behind in a big way. Other things have just been more inportant of late. BUT – the songs are back on my list this week and this is a special! A while ago a friend of ours who’s heading out to Kenya on a mission trip this summer, asked if […]

Off to the Lakes…on our own! So, after a long, hard start to the year we had an enjoyable Easter at home followed by a little holiday. Easter had proven to be cold and damp – even snow was around in northern England! So we approached a hill walking holiday with a little anticipation. Especially […]
Before I bought my beloved Fuzzy (the Felt…my road bike!), I did a lot of research into how to keep it in good nick. I asked questions on internet forums. I read books and magazines. And when it came to getting Fuzzy home I generally thought I knew what I was doing…and I was well […]
This was going to be a humorous, Fat-Cyclist-Style list of the best feelings in the world, but for reasons that I can’t really bring myself to mention, I’ve decided just to write about the feeling that prompted the post in the first place. With the longer days and the arrival of British Summer Time I’ve […]
[Sorry for backdating – I’m catching up on posts so these may appear in a bit of a random order] I’m not a big shopper. I don’t hate it, but I mostly buy things because I need them. And when I buy things that I want they’re well thought out and researched so that I […]
