Yes, it’s welly time. It’s been a bit footwear heavy around here recently, but what can I say. I like shoes. I have a pair of wellies, they are green, boring, and bought in a panic just before VaG in 2010. I always thought of wellies as something you only wore to tramp through muddy
So, after rashly signing up to do a 10k in October, and being quite nervous about it as well actually, it appears that I have just signed up to run another in November. Why? Well this one offered me a free bottle of beer after the race. How could I say no? The
Yesterday I spent the whole day at The Festival of Vintage in Epsom. Thankfully the event was inside at Epsom Racecourse as the weather was all rain and grey skies and freeeezing cold.

Spending time away from home, whether it’s for business or pleasure can make eating sensibly a real chore. Eating out and ordering takeaways can be done healthily but, it’s all too easy to cave in and order something smothered in cheese. I travel a lot, and the novelty of restaurants and takeaways palls pretty quickly,
I know so many people that can do amazing things. It’s inspirational to read blogs from people who are just fantastic at what they do. They’re experts in vintage fashion history and know every label and collection since the 1920s or have an astonishing ability to knock up new frock in an hour from some
I’m a veteran of, oooh, 3 and a half months of running now. So naturally that qualifies me to write about how to start running. Actually I sort of think it does, it’s all very well being a running expert and having all kinds of technical ways to run properly or training programs to get
