About 10 years ago I fell in love with reading after many years of having absolutely no interest in picking up a book. The escapism, the imagination and the wonderful stories pulled me into their world, which hopefully I won’t leave again. My wife is the same – she loves reading, however at the moment …

As you all know, our second child due in September. We like to plan and wanted to know what the gender of our new baby would be but our NHS Trust don’t disclose that information during a scan which is a shame. I was getting tired of referring to it as “it” and my in-laws …

I said a few weeks ago that we had some tough decisions to make. We had to decide if nursery was the right form of part time child care for us now that I am not working. Well, we have now made our decision and as of today, I am a full time stay at …

I was asked by Nintendo if I’d like to review their newest release for the Wii U console, LEGO City Undercover. Would I like to? Of course! So here it is. My background is probably relevant to this review. I’m an old school gamer. I played a *lot* of games when I was younger. From …

It has been a very long time since I last entered anything into Tara’s Gallery. I’ve been a tad busy! For those that don’t know, Tara over at Sticky Fingers runs a gallery each week with a given theme. The idea is that anyone can post one of their photos with a story of their own. …
