White Stuff

I'll be brief because it's late and he's worn me out. Vanessa was out tonight and I was planning several hours of "me...

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Jamie was off to his first teddy bears picnic - a very exciting moment for the young man. Organised ...

Saturday 15 August 1998 is a day that I, like so many millions of others across the world, will sadly never, ever forget. For it was on thi...

I try, where possible, to record little pieces of living history on this blog so Jamie can read all about them in years to come. Tonight, I...

A bit of a lazy day today - arguably something of a waste - as I sought to get my life back on track after the Lions' crushing loss to ...

I've never been a great one for watching live sport in pubs. My reasoning is very simple (and a bit middle-aged). If it's a game I r...

The picture above was taken seven years ago at the House of Commons - just seconds before I almost literally walked straight into Michael J...

I went along to the annual 364 Club lunch today - my fourth - and it was fantastic. To explain, it was, as ever, held at Headingley Cricke...

The video of Jamie’s birthday cake being carried out for him to “blow out” the candles (in truth, he’s not much of a blower as yet) can be a...

Jamie spent this afternoon with Mike, Derek and me, watching the Lions come so close to beating South Africa in the First Test - yet losing...

Yes folks, my mother and Derek are safely in our house after landing - equally safely - on the tarmac at Leeds Bradford Airport. A fun week...

So then, have you had your fill of my hole or do you want some more? (Please don't answer that). Quickly, this afternoon we finally had...

I genuinely do hate to go on about this, but the scene above is what greeted me when I headed out the front door this morning. The building...

Yes folks, the story rumbles on. The scene above is, believe it or not, the pavement outside our house. In fact, the wall you're lookin...

As I was saying yesterday before those cowboys so spectacularly interrupted my train of thought, our friends Jane and Ed and their cutie ch...

After a fun night last night - more on that tomorrow - not such a good day today. Jamie's not so well again and we had to abort our tri...
