Welcome to my web site. I really enjoy living life to the full, trying and experiencing new things. I have put together this web site with information I have gathered from my life including Travel but also I have spent some time on Book Reviews, Film Reviews and Event Reviews which I hope you will enjoy. These are not formal “Reviews” (with a capital “R”) but rather what I think…

I always appreciate hearing from those that find this site useful so please let me know if you do and sign up to my mailing list (on my About this Site page) if you want to be notified of any updates.
