Last week I ordered a few books from Amazon and, over the weekend, my parcel duly arrived via courier within two days of placing my order. Hurrah! All I had to do was simply log onto to the internet, place my order and then wait for the delivery company to...

Over the last few weeks I’ve been struggling to believe that this is still – technically at least - the summer. Given the dreadful weather we have been experiencing throughout August you would be forgiven for thinking that it was really October or even later than that. But hey, that’s...

I recently attended another corporate event, this time it was at The Jam House at St Pauls Square, In the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham and whilst I love these ‘works do’s’ for the free drinks, food and entertainment, I am usually a little too tipsy to fully appreciate the entertainment (that...

Well, have just returned from a merry week in Ireland and have had a great time. The countryside is lovely but, the weather is pretty awful with lots of rain but I guess this is why the countryside is so green and lush. I stayed in Tibohine, a small village near...
