It sounds silly but…

In 2007, I needed something, something to give me purpose, something I could focus on and I didn’t know what it was but I was searching for it. It is well known that Jamie was what I was looking for, but back then, I had no idea she was what would make me whole again? […]

Church stag do?

Not one to seek out new friends nor talk to anyone I don’t know Jamie told me there was a bloke with no friends at church who needed blokes to attend his stag do would I be willing? There is possibly nothing in this world I could despise or detest more that meeting God bothering […]

Work Rest & Play

We finished work tonight and although Jamie was prepared to cook, when I suggested taking Billy for a walk to the King’s Lock have a drink and get a Chippy on the way home I became the king of Friday nights and we went for a family drink.

The sun shone

I set my alarm for 5:30am but woke at 3:40 excited beyond being able to sleep though I lay there for another couple of hours I eventually got up and showered I was going to boil the kettle but thought, just get in the car and get down to Staffordshire and get a brew so […]

The gang back together!

I lie here needing to go to sleep because I need to be in Stafford tomorrow at 7am and wild horses would not keep me from being there to bring my family home. I just want to say that it can’t come soon enough to get the gang back together and be whole again!

Home Alone

I know why I am no good as a single guy I just don’t sit well with my own company and that is just how I am made. I just love the inane interaction and conversations I have with Jamie everyday it just makes me feel so great and I can’t  be happy without that […]

Soil pipe blues…

Woke up knowing I had to start and finish renewing the soil pipe on the back of the house because once the old one is removed we have no toilet which is why we decided to do it while 3 of the 4 were camping! I removed all but the pipe from the back of […]

DTI Home Alone

Spent most of the day getting the kids ready and down to Staffordshire Show Ground to meet Mommy and 3750 other kids for a weeks camping. As much as I wanted to be home renewing the soil pipe (that sounds sooo wierd) but it was great to help out and make sure not just my […]

We need volunteers, nope!

As Jamie left for DTI with trepidation after volunteering to spend a week living and working (for nothing) in a field we waved her off knowing I would be taking the children to join her tomorrow she was jealous that I would be spending the time at home alone which to her sounds like bliss. […]
