After this year’s festival wash outs at Beautiful Days (not so beautiful in all that mud) and Bestival (certainly some of the best mud I have ever personally witnessed) I have had a think, and it is with much sadness that I’m announcing my retirement from camping at music festivals. I’ve been doing this quite [...]

I run past the London Eye a few times a week. In the summer there’s an avenue of people being statues between the Eye and Waterloo Bridge. Fair enough, some are quite believable and the kids seem to enjoy the surprise. The other day though I spotted a new one. A [...]
