I am on my way home from the latest Food Assembly to launch in London. I jump on the 67 bus on Kingsland Road and jump off by the Golden Heart on Commercial Road by Spitafields Market. For me this is like time travel. In the past Kingsland Road was where we’d head for Vietmanise […]

It is October and I have started to get the winter blues. I know they are just the winter blues and that sunshine all day does a lot more for your vitamin D levels than being wrapped in a coat and shivering. I have always taken a dip in the winter time, at school it […]

I have pondered exactly how to work out loud and I am not sure what the bloody issue is. It is not as if I have some super sensitive thing with a string of NDA’s. I think one thing that ‘stops’ me – even though it should not is some slim ball knob ringing up […]

Last night I could not dare to sleep. I knew the best thing to do would be to sleep and then wake up and hope it was all over. So of course I stayed up and felt even more shit this morning. Luckily I had the internet and was able to pass the time watching […]

Life is what happens when you are making plans
Ok, so hands up I am having a a few hours of post traumatic birthday stress. This time ten years ago I was lying facedown on the concrete by the pool at our villa in Ibiza trying to remember what had happened in the last 48 hours. My friends had treated me to a night […]
Lunch at the Agora Collective Berlin
We got to the Agora Coworking space in Berlin around midday, it was a slow day and the sun was beating down on the backside of the road. I looked at the small archway with a huge gate that made up the entrance, already there was something gooi about this place. The grand collection of […]
Head melting, saying no and staying alive.
I have just got my breath back, now this. The end of 2012 I had a mental breakdown and felt like I had been in a tied to the underside of a roller coaster at peak time at Disney Land. Being tied to a roller coaster is fine – it is the being in Disney […]
