I'm back. I wrote a post about blogging in COVD times back in early 2021. I wasn't really sure where life was going and taking me. Jo and I were getting married. Life was super busy (and that's not changed at ALL) and I think that I was just suffering from blogging burn out. I wasn't really enjoying working on this site any more and I was finding it a little bit of a chore. Well Jo and I have got married! We've got a beautiful little furry friend now called Max who joined us July 2021. My work continues now to go from strength to strength. I'm probably travelling more internationally than I've ever done. I'm rapidly heading towards my "mid 40's" which is scary to say the…
I've done a number of other top 10 things to do in various other cities such as my trips to Barcelona or New York but this one is a little closer to home with the Top 10 things to do in Cambridge. For those who don't know Cambridge is my home town. I was born in the city and apart from a few years living in Colchester I've been in and around the city for most of my life. Cambridge is a wonderful city. Yes it's full of students and yes they are annoying when the ride 10 abreast down the road.... However don't let this distract you from the Top 10 things to do in Cambridge. So what's number one of the top 10 things to do in Cambridge?…
Have you ever sat there and dreamt about that big lottery win? The last few months have seen the Euromillions Jackpot hit around the £120million mark. That's proper life changing amounts of money that you could do so much with. It's not just a few thousand you might get at work for a bonus but something you could change your life for good with. Jo and I were in the car the other day thinking of what we would do with £120m dream lottery win. The ironic side of things is that I don't often play the lottery. When it's only £10m I frankly don't bother. I know that's odd because £10m would change my life. But something doesn't make it worth while. I usually buy a ticket when it's…
What does your digital branding say about you? Does it say that you are a corporate jet set or a fun filled party person? With the development of social media and blogs peoples brands are becoming even more important. The first impression that many people have is what they see on social media. If you are looking for a new member of staff at your business I’m sure that at some point you’ll have a quick check on Facebook or perhaps other social media to see what they are all about and what they are posting. I wrote on my business website a whole piece about your own personal brand and what this says about you. Do people trust you? Is there belief in people believing what you are saying?…
If you haven't read Part 1 on Route 66 Oklahoma do it here! Oklahoma City is the state capital for Oklahoma. It's the biggest city in the whole state. As a person from the UK Oklahoma has one thing in my memory which is the tragic bombing of 20+ years ago. We paid a visit to the site which I'll talk about below. Before we got there as we came into the City you see the State Capital building appear on the horizon. With a big towering dome very similar to the one from Illinois State Capitol building it's really imposing as you come into the city. It was built in 1917 and contains a number of key war memorials as a tribute to the fallen soldiers to the World…
