Review: Grisport ‘Timber’ Walking Boots
I used our recent jaunt up to the Peak District to try out a pair of boots that I had been sent from Grisport. I generally tend to shy away from choosing leather boots as I have always assumed that they are heavy and rigid. I think this […]
My New Year’s Resolutions 2016
After looking back over a momentous 2015, I decided that it’s time I started thinking about 2016. The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life, but the challenges are only just beginning! I return to work on Saturday 2nd January after 12 and a half […]

A Family Walk in Badby Woods
Yesterday we had a lovely walk around Badby Woods. It’s a beautiful spot and we really enjoyed a bit of family time. We’re lucky in that Finn loves going in the carrier, and pretty much laughs the whole time! Since Luke’s had his new camera we’ve been experimenting […]
