I guess it's been every kids dream at some point to be a pilot. I think mine was about aged 8 when I was fascinated by the old World War 2 planes and wanted to know how to fly a Spitfire. Obviously as you grow up you go through phases in life and mine passed quite quickly. However as a gift for my birthday about 18 months ago I got a voucher to go and have a flight simulator experience with the lovely team at virtual flight experience. I had such a good time flying in their Boeing 737 that I bought myself and my Girlfriend a voucher to go back. We went back recently to have another go. This time however I asked that I could fly into the…
In this time of Corona Virus we're going to be working from home for possibly a couple of weeks or even longer... I've been working from home for a good number years on a bit of a part time basis when I'm not travelling. At times it's not easy to do it as there are plenty of distractions in the home. However I've got a number of tips and tricks that I've learnt over my time which has made my working from home far more efficient! If you get up when your heading to the office at 6am. Do the same. If you exercise before the office. Do the same. Your body is used to the routine of these things and you are mentally in a place that you are…
My last formal qualifications was A-levels. Do I feel embarrased by that? No not really as I've done some amazing things in my life that I know if I had gone to university that I wouldn't have had the chance to do. Also I went into the theatre industry in a time and to some degree (no pun intended)) it's the same now where a degree doesn't get you anywhere. Theatre Lighting (which I used to do) is all about who you know and what you know. Yes I could have had BA after my name but... would it have actually got me anywhere? Probably not. But why now in my late 30's did I return to study? Firstly my life has changed now. Back 20 years ago I was…

Probably the most famous building both in Barcelona and in Spain. The Sagrada Familia is for me one of the most beautiful buildings on the planet, and it's not…
With the 2020 Grand Prix season nearly upon us I look back my day at Williams F1 Race Day Hospitality. I was lucky enough to get tickets to the day through my work who were sponsors of the team. Being a massive petrol head and motorsport fan read my Indy 500 post to understand how big a fan! This was a day I couldn't wait for and woke excitedly as we made our way to the factory. Williams has been one of the greatest F1 teams of all time. Although they aren't reaching the heights that they once were, they were the team to beat in the late 80's and 90's. Drivers like Mansell, Prost, Senna and Hill all drove for the team. Going back into the 80's various champions…
