I struggled with the running concept again this morning. I was awake from 4am thinking that I might just go out any minute and take in my required 10 mile pootle but I was still flouncing around at 11am throwing anti-running strops on the living room floor. The new non-runner in my life has...

I’m as happy as a generally grumpy person can ever expect to be, but occassionaly I get it in to my head that perhaps I’d feel more at home somewhere else – the eternal grass is greener scenario. This weekend, in search of lush lawns, I headed to Hebden Bridge. Hebden Bridge is the...

Just heard a statistic from Thorntons, the watering hole for romantic chocoholics. Apparently in the run up to Valentines day, 1 in 5 gents are buying two identical chocolate treats at each transaction and having different names iced onto each.
