Call it ignorance or cultural differences – whatever you like. Here are a few of the things that dumbfounded me two years ago. Yeah, I know right – two years already!!
Stones
Lots of people in England actually still measure their body weight in stones, with one stone being 14lbs. It’s very confusing, especially if your mental [...]
When I moved to the UK I had to give / throw away a lot of stuff: clothes, books, electronics, furniture, sentimental stuff, knick knacks, etc. I realized in doing so that I had formed attachments to stuff that I didn’t really need but kept just in case.

Goodbye, beer. I’ll miss you!
Well kiddies, today was officially “Day 1″ of my new fitness regiment. I’ve long since realized that a sedentary lifestyle won’t yield the results / positive body image that I long for but lacked motivation (I’m sure many web professionals can relate to this).

Rocks because
Gordon Downie, the lead singer and lyricist has such an original, quirky voice and a crazy stage personality to match! I love the video for The Darkest One featuring the Trailer Park [...]
Chris and I have been busy renovating a Georgian house with a stunning view of Bradford-on-Avon, a quaint Wiltshire town just outside of Bath. The structural renovation is nearing completion and in the next couple of months we’ll be doing some intense interior design to get it finished!
We’re keeping a blog to track the development [...]
