Stopped By The Police!
Whilst cycling to work this morning along my usual route I was flagged down by the police! But not because I was breaking the law you’ll be glad to hear – it was to put me in the drivers seat of a lorry! As part of the Cycle Safety Action Plan, TFL and the Met [...]

The BBC have carried out a 6 month long ‘box’ project, following one specific container around the world as it [...]
Read moreSeasonal offerings
I went along to my local farmers market on Sunday, conveniently positioned at the end of my road, it is a great place to find British produced meat, dairy and veg goods. With it being Autumn there was a fantastic array of pumpkins and squashes on display – much more vibrant and interesting than my [...]
