Writ In Water Surrey

I woke up early today as I am back in the UK for work and manage to sneak in a run in Egham. I tried running in the open fields here several times during the winter and rainy months but it was either too dark or the water logged. I am glad I did it […]

That That – PSY & Suga

This song has earned it’s rightful place in my family playlist. The video was played repeatedly each night before the 9pm theatre show in Club Med Cherating. It warms the crowd up ahead of the performance of the evening. My kids were particularly drawn to the production value of the video and they instantly recognised […]
