It is good to rebrand once in a while

I’ve created blogs and podcasts for over 10 years, I have either been part of a blog or created my own. Typically, I blogged about my own ventures, career, events and so on, but I chose to take break over the last year during the pandemic, to find my brand. Rebranding I think is good for […]

Drone flying rules one year on

*Original posted displayed in October 2019* Drone flying is great, I’ve had some amazing times piloting my unmanned aircraft, not only because I find flying therapeutic, but the aerial photography that one can capture at several hundred feet is astonishing. You also meet some characters such as dogs running off with your landing mat thinking it […]

Happy six-month remote working anniversary! Working alongside children and pets

I have just realised how long it has been between this post and the last! It certainly has been a busy year. I was told by a colleague the other week that it has been 6 months since we started working from home, and just like that most of 2020 is gone. Many of us […]

The Panda made me do it. Using technology during sport events vs entertaining a toddler for 100 miles – Part 1 of 2

The Panda made me, or should I say, made the husband do it! Damn that panda, it has a lot to answer for, especially this post which is likely to be a short novella, so please do get comfortable. In the lead up to the husband’s second RideLondon 100 mile cycle this year, I reflected […]

Drone pilots submit evidence to parliament and receive reckless threats

The recent Heathrow and Gatwick airport “drone issues” have undoubtedly raised awareness of drones. Some of it however, it not welcomed popularity, especially by those of us who do not think that drones were in any way responsible for delaying recent flights. Pending a probable ‘Drones Bill’ in 2019, Parliament’s Science and Technology committee have […]

The cake conundrum

It is obvious for those who are in the industry, that the legal sector is a very stressful place. I have (mostly) worked in law in London’s city centre for nearly 20 years, and I would like to say that the stress improves, but really all that happens is that one’s mindset of stress changes. […]
