Can you really clear a foggy holiday head playing hide and seek and snacking on fruit?
Yesterday we spent our first family day gaming because our little one got his first console game and it was fantastic. We couldn’t believe how quickly he picks it all up and boy did we have fun. As a health coach I should be all about moving all the time and eating veggies every second right. Well… That’s kinda dull …
Best Natural drinks: fruit juice or fruit chunks?
I woke up on Boxing Day happy but dehydrated so here is a quick fix that gets me back in the festive spirit. Because hangovers are 80% dehydration I used this trick enough yesterday to avoid the worst but if I don’t replenish my water stores along with nutrients then I will regret it. All I do is use fruit …
Reservoir Dinos
This is a snapshot of the fun we had today. Lounging around enjoying each other’s company. We swam in the morning I cooked in the afternoon and we watched movies after. Just now the little one lined up his new dinosaurs from the good dinosaur. For me it was a chance to record some memories which of course means taking …
Learning to cook Tasty No effort food!!!
If you don’t think you can cook something gorgeous simple and healthy, then try this idea out for size. The idea is that it’s an incredibly simple meal to cook, but I show you how to upgrade something highly processed to something with added flavour, texture and nutrition. So I increase the quality but use cheap ingredients that I have …
Shoppping and the value of boot sales: Finding treasure
The photos here are about the great deals and finds you can get by stepping outside and exploring. The summer for me was all about boot sales because many are I. The country in the middle of a field. So I get to shop in the English country side. This time of year it’s more about Christmas fayres and the …
I want to be a pilot!!! Eurofighter Typhoon
Memories This video and the memories that go with it will stay with me forever. I still remember fondly a similar experience years ago in a summer job as a drivers mate we passed an RAF base while several jets were preparing to take off about 100 meters away. We pulled over and watched each get into position, fire up …
Santa and Hatton country park Christmas fayre
This was a really fun way to a lazy 8,000 steps. I basically sat down all day either in the car or in the restaurant while he was in the soft play but I ended up with over 8000 steps, plenty of calories burnt and 42 floors climbed. The true object of all human life is play. G. K. Chesterton …

I want to be a pilot!!! Battle of the Atlantic
As part of our fantastic day at Duxford air show we got to see this beautiful and frankly relaxing flight sequence of classic aircraft from a bygone era. I stood for ages, working muscles I don’t normally work and ignored the hunger in my belly all because I was having fun.
Why I Started the day with a smile. Mince pies, pears, strawberries and grapes #roadtochristmas
Today was one of those super busy change your plans at the last minute kind of mornings so this is one trick I use to make a celebration of it. The mince pies need toning down and the fruit often needs sweetening. The mince pies are clearly indulgent and the fruit is clearly healthy. Together they make gorgeous flavour and …
I want to be a Helicopter pilot!!!
The day we spent at Duxford Air show was so special I had to break it down into several posts and this on is dedicated to helicopters and any budding helicopter pilots young or old. The idea is always that you will do anything for the thing you love and it never feels hard. The kinds of movement I got in included walking …

Parenting workouts: Christmas lights switch on
Over the last weekend, I had an experience that made me realize how tiring and challenging it could be for parents to take care of their little ones. We attended the MK official Christmas lights switch-on, and I had to carry my child for about one to two hours. It may not sound like much, but when everyone around you …
Make christmas work for you!!!
So the festival is upon us. How much fun we will have. What I like to do is make the fun work for me, making me healthier not heavier. It took a long time to learn but now it has just become part of the normal day. I’m no expert I just do it for fun. I’ve learnt most things …
