We are now around 6 weeks into life at a new school for the boys. We have been reflecting a lot on how tough life has been during this period, for both them and for us. We know in our heads we have made the right move for the family but your heart just takes over. The boys, at our urging, relay every gory detail … Continue reading The overflowing cup
2023 saw another round of significant diagnoses for Flynn, and realistically, whilst we map out his special needs, consider how to tackle his current and future challenges together, there is growing anxiety in his parents. Through 2022 and 2023 we have continued to make significant changes in our lives, to be able to accommodate and confront the challenges. Mostly that has been to consider, intentionally, … Continue reading Time to move
Lots of time on my own and to think whilst I am here in Glasgow. Big work days… but when home is you rattling around in a one bedroom flat four blocks from the office, there’s still time. It has had its moments, but it is a strange experience, to be on your own in a foreign city, and to be honest, not one I … Continue reading Glasgow Life
Now several months into a sabbatical, a semi-retirement, career break… whatever it is and whatever it turns out to be, I have had time to stop and think some more, reflect on where I am and where our family is.

Many people are simply living in blissful … Continue reading 2021: A transition story

While our … Continue reading 2021… the year that was meant to be… but isn’t
Everything changed in 2020. I recognise I am not sharing any news by saying that, but I wanted to put some thoughts together on what it meant for me, for my family and for my business. And share a little of what I am thinking in 2021. I am currently sitting in a hotel room in mandatory quarantine, after returning from a stint in Tokyo, … Continue reading Finding the time
Running Sport Projects can be a hectic, challenging and non-stop experience but after three years it’s worth taking some time to reflect on the journey so far. We are always busy which is great, but it means you don’t always get around to everything you want to… writing about our third birthday three months after the fact probably points to that! Without big expectations or … Continue reading Removing the hats… slowly
