I’m onto my third glass of French fine wine in the British Airways lounge at Heathrow, an hour from now I’ll be climbing into my Business Class seat, enjoying my welcome Champagne, then locking down for the 24 hour flight home to Adelaide. For good. I’m looking pretty composed and suitably attired in my polo […]

Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking Anyela and Shane on a photo shoot round my London hood of Old Street. Those who’ve been there will know that it’s the exact opposite of the stunning parks, gardens and traditional old houses that you’d expect to see in London, it’s more urban, edgy, and interesting.

Another crazy London weekend for Simon Bills of simonbills.com fame. Friday night saw a Movember house party at our Old St flat where my flat mate Dave was awarded Mo of the match by myself. A magnum of Moet was presented (or maybe it was just a magnum of Waitrose champagne, either way it was […]

Hecticity – look it up, it’s a word. And if wasn’t 20 seconds ago then it is now (welcome anyone who found this page by googling hecticity, I like your style). This word basically sums up my life at the moment, ie, my life is a state of high hecticity.

London life can get you down. Super fast paced, overcrowded, too much pollution, too many people who think it’s acceptable to do a poo on your doorstep on a Saturday night (seriously, don’t get me started, that’s 2 weeks out of 3 now – the downside to living in gritty East London I guess). Sometimes […]

Another weekend, another crazy adventure, this time my cohorts were none other than MUM and DAD!!  The parentals saw their way clear to spend a whole 2 days with their 2nd born son as part of another 5 week epic Euro vacation (bring on retirement I say!) and it was great hosting them at my […]
