Antarctica Series - It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to the worlds most remote continent. Read about my adventure as I travel with my youngest daughter as she aims to trave to all 7 continents before she is 25. If the Drake Passage doesnt get you on the way out it certainly will on the way back.
Motorhome Series - We bought our first Motorhome as a retirement present to ourselves. It enables us to travel and explore taking our own bit of luxury and home comforts with us, plus it means Oscar the Dog can join us on our travels. This series of blogs takes you from collecting our MoHo to our holiday adventures.
Retirement Series - Goodbye Tension, Hello Pension is the title of one of my blogs which captures in a nutshell how I feel about taking early retirement. Follow this series to read about the build up to early retirement starting with a holiday in Barbados and our evolving plans including the delivery of a new motorhome
Unauthorised Series - Taking a Dads perspective on life as both of my daughters travel around Australia and the Far East. Will life be that different at home now that the limpets have gone? Just me and Mrs Riley back together and rattling around in the family home, means some re adjustments
Narrowboat Series - My diary of our boy's October narrowboat holiday. Stories of life on board and the many pubs we have visited as we travel along the Trent & Mersey and Staffordshire & Worcestershire canals. Do you know what to do in a winding hole and what are lock miles? Read on to find out,
Coronacrisis Series - as the Corona Virus takes over the world read about my life in lockdown. How I entertained myself without the pubs and football. Custard creams and livestock farming - well I bought some chickens and not the ones from Sainsbury. Movies and the top 3 lock down questions. It's all here.
European Adventure Series - what do you do if you get 6 months paid leave from work? Well you and your mate get a van and travel around Europe. We visited 4 iconic football stadiums, were the oldest rockers at the BBK music festival and did we survive the Pamplona bull run?

Macmillan Way - I work up one morning and decided i was going to walk the Macmillan Way, a 290 mile path that rund from Boston in Lincolnshire and Abbotsbury in Dorset. This is a 'diary' of my adventure as I complete the walk in sections over multiple weekends and in part accompanied by Oscar the Dog.
Win (very steep) Hill - a one off blog as my daughter trains for her trip to climb to Everest base camp, she ropes me in to do some hill walking in the peak district. What started off as a "Dad do you fancy completing the 3 peaks challenge" was gradually negotiated back - job done or so I thought!
Blogs That Mention or Are About - Click the icon to the left
Sheffield Wednesday - one of my pastime passions is following Sheffield Wednesday. I love the days out as I travel to Hillsborough with friends, pre match beers with so much anticipation, post match beers wondering where it all went wrong! Football just spoils a good day out.
Real ale real pubs - I have a passion for Real Ale and I am fortunate that I live in a village with two active pubs both selling cask ale. Most of my pastime passions tend to revolve around or start and probably end with a real ale somewhere. From beer festivals to just great British pubs.
