I joined the cast from the All Stars Performing Arts group who are an extremely talented bunch of young performers. The show was a massive hit and had 4 standing ovations. I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun performing. Usually I would have had my

This is a photograph of my brother Jake surfing the white waters at the National Water Sports Centre at Holme Pierrepont Country Park, Nottingham. It is a world class white water venue where both of my brothers Jake and Ethan are usually found training in canoe and kayak slalom respectively.

I’ve just spent a week in London with my family. We did the whole tourist thing. I have been to London many times but never done the site seeing and major attractions.

My daughter shouted out to me and my wife the other morning. “Mummy, Daddy, come and look at this”. There was a Sparrowhawk sitting as still as possible on our old gate over the road from our house. I really have no idea how she spotted it as it took my wife and I a while to see it sitting there.
