Into the Wild

It’s a warm, funny and ultimately tragic tale of a young man trying to understand life and himself, made far more poignant by the fact that it’s a true story. [...]

Motivation

The Gore jacket is such an effective bit of kit that it was a real pleasure running in the rain and this, ably supported by my iQ beanie, helped me run on! [...]

Thanks Nessie

We spent a really lovely evening yesterday eating, drinking and making merry with Cliff & Ness, June and Penny.  And I made the error of showing my new phone to Nessie who is well known to be an errant prodder of switches and buttons.  Which is why the alarm went off at 8.50am this morning.

A warm welcome to the Qype blog

Waving at passers by

Nothing could take away the fact that, with the Autumn leaves turning shades of red and gold, it was a glorious morning! [...]
