I need a jump start. Not my car, but my “brand”. My social media presence, this website and most of all, my YouTube Channel. I haven’t posted anything in so long that I may have to re-learn how. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to. Quite the opposite actually. It’s jus that when my mental […]
Yes I know I have promised before but then were setbacks. This means it has been nearly a year since my last video. Amazingly you have continued to support me, and I’m very grateful. I hope to reward you with some great content that you will love. Please watch this space and let’s get back

I had qualified for my voluntary work with the Sea Cadet Corps and I was both delighted and honoured to

We visited the Little Owls Farm Park this weekend. Actually the term “farm park” doesn’t really do it justice. Tucked away near Ombersley, Worcestershire, this is a wonderful educational resource. All manner of animals are housed, both inside and out. There is the opportunity to use the onsite café, or bring your own picnic and
