Today is the 'dreaded' day; another year, another period of reflection and anticipation. I was just looking through Facebook, at the 'memories' section, where I could see posts from previous birthdays, and firstly, it's hard to believe that it's 2 years since I celebrated my 60th with a wonderful party in Gabiano, Italy. I know [...]

Mauritius | Just wow!
In the 2 months since our well documented events of the Summer, we have focused on getting back to some sense of normality after returning to Dubai. For me that meant returning to work in Kuwait, combined with the regular weekend commute between Kuwait and Dubai. For Mel, physio has been the top priority, and [...]
Heading East to Protaras
Regular followers will perhaps know that we have an apartment in the Cypriot village of Peyia, which is in the Western part of this wonderful island, near the popular holiday resort of Paphos - but with a weeks break to plan, we wanted to spend part of the time visiting somewhere new - and for [...]
Lindfield Photowalking
With Summer just around the corner, it's a great time to get out in the English countryside, and enjoy the unique character of our small towns and villages that can be easily found, usually just a few miles from the busy road networks that span the country. Lindfield is one such village, it has picture [...]
Kuwait | Scenes from a year
With the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan earlier this week, I am reminded that I have been working here in Kuwait for a year now; a year that has literally flown by - in the words of Pink Floyd 'every year is getting shorter'. I also realised that I haven't written any [...]
New York | Favourite Shots
For my final New York blog post (4 blogs from 4 days, not bad eh?), I wanted to share a few photos that didn't quite fit into the themes of the other posts, but which I like nonetheless, so join me on a trip around the city! We start down near the World Trade Centre, [...]
A New York day out | Part 1
Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the 9/11 Museum all in one day, it promised to be a day of wonder, history and high emotion; but it started off really cold, as we left our hotel and walked a couple of blocks for an early egg mcmuffin at the golden arches, before hailing a cab [...]
The wacky world of Instagram
Like many bloggers, I am also an 'instagrammer' - I joined back in August 2016, and since then have posted 381 times; primarily photos of landscapes and buildings. I typically post once or twice a week, and these days my photos attract an average of about 25 - 30 'likes', so they don't exactly go [...]
New York | Let’s Get Physical (Graffiti)
Sometimes you need to get away, far away! A 14 hour flight is pretty far, and thats what I did recently, when I flew from Kuwait to New York to spend a 4 day weekend there with Mrs E and her son Aston. However, due to a forced change in my schedule, only 2 of [...]
Weekday Eating for One
Over the past few years, being an expat, and working away from home has meant that I spend many working weeks living alone, and one of the downsides of this is that I tend not to eat too well. Whilst I quite enjoy doing a bit of cooking, it's not the same when it's just [...]
