Spring will soon be here and then it will be time to get your garden looking fantastic; nothing is guaranteed to impress visitors, and make neighbours envious, more than a beautiful deck at the head of your garden.
I started to look at redoing my back garden, and actually all Read more…
Q) How cool would it be to have your very own arcade machine?
A) Incredibly cool! Your street cred would go through the roof and you’d have the ladies eating out of your hand! (Ok, this is maybe a slight exaggeration, but it would still be pretty cool to have your own.)
Well, if you do want one, there are two different routes to go down. The first of these is to just nip out and buy one for Read more…

A while ago a friend of mine was replacing the flooring in his bungalow. I am keen on woodwork so I asked him what he was doing with all of the old floorboards. They we still in good condition and I was pretty sure that I could make use of them. He told me that if I took them away I would actually be doing him a favour; he’d been planning to get a skip and just throw them all Read more…

When I read, ‘Law of Attraction – Is it Real or All in The Mind?’ it was not the first time that I’d heard this theory. Personally, I find it difficult to believe that we can make things happen with our thoughts. I’m not ruling it out altogether but it does seem a little bit far-fetched.
The whole thing is not dissimilar to ‘positive thinking’ or ‘mind over matter’. Loads of people claim to have recovered from serious illnesses just Read more…

I have just gotten a post from a friend of mine about motosport that I thought looked interesting. If you want to see more visit his Enigin blog!
I got into motorsport pretty early in life due in the main to the antics of my father who was a very keen motocross follower. In the late 50s and 60s the Lampkin family were as strong then as they have been over the last couple of years. This was also the time when at the likes of the British MotoCross Gp the commentary would be handled by the now famous Murray Walker who himself was a very keen follower of motorsport. I had the pleasure of meeting him, although I cannot remember the circumstances or content of conversation, at the 1963 GP at Hawkstone Park in Shropshire. The ironic thing is that who would have thought that many years later I would actually have the pleasure of meeting him again over 3 consecutive years at F1 GP at Silverstone in 1988/89/90 when I was involved in the Safety and Medical Services to motorsport as a Rescue Crew, Team Leader.

I have always been fascinated by ‘The Goth Look’, so this made a very interesting bit of reading. There is quite a lot of history to it all that I was totally unaware of. It would appear that Goths have been around for a lot longer than most people would think. I wonder if pale-faced and darkly dressed misfits wandered the streets of England in Victorian times? They would certainly have fitted in very well and they would Read more…

A lot of people love the idea of making things out of wood, but are put off by thinking that they will just end up making a mess of it.
When I was at school, I absolutely detested woodwork. It held no interest for me whatsoever. I am not too sure how it came about, but when I got older things completely changed. I suddenly loved the idea of making all sorts of things. These varied from shelves to TV Read more…
