It was on a rainy Tuesday evening last week that I braved the tube at rush hour to get to London Bridge. Jostling among the crowds of people and getting a little lost outside the station had me flustered, but finding my friend and scoffing down a scrummy Love Burger from Leon soon righted my … Continue reading Nothing is Binary

Dry Season
It was a beautiful winter’s day last Saturday; the sunshine, clear sky and still crisp air created perfect conditions for a walk. It was glorious to feel warmth and explore parts of East London I hadn’t seen before, at least not in the daylight. It was a joy to pause and take the time to … Continue reading Dry Season

Next week I would have achieved the psychological milestone of 100 days alcohol free, and I’m … Continue reading 100 Days
