Along St. Thomas Street, just up the road from Guy's Hospital where I used to work last year and the fancy Shard building, there is a doorway that most people just walk past.

No sarcasm intended! Before you think I’m being a rubbish wimp, please bear in mind I am on my feet for most of the day. I know, most people have desk jobs that don’t require this, but also I’m aware that some of you have jobs on your feet all day. So also bear in... Continue Reading →

Highgate Cemetery opened in 1839 and today is probably the most famous and visited of all the Magnificent Seven. Today it is still in use and the burial site of some of the most famous of London’s population. The site is divided by Swains Lane and has an East and West side. The West side... Continue Reading →
You know that feeling when you have a cold and your nose is so blocked it’s just horrible and you miss breathing normally.
