On Sunday I will be Wembley bound for a second time in as many months to cheer on the mighty Wrexham as we contest the Conference Playoff Final with Welsh counterparts Newport County. The prize is not a World Cup, a Champions League, or even another FA Trophy, but for Wrexham it would be a significant reward and rightful return to League football. Regardless of the...

A year ago I helped to buy a cow for a man in Tajikistan. It was a man who I knew very little about at the time and in all honesty I never expected to get the money back, however my initial faith was repaid in full as was my Kiva loan, both on time and as promised. I’ve been needing to get the blog back in motion for a while and despite some significant moments...

The ‘pause’ button has been activated for a while here at the neverendinglist, not deliberately I might add, but with distractions now distanced I think the time might have come to press ‘play’ again! A rest is as good as a change in this instance I suppose. Whilst I have questioned the desire to pursue my virtual ‘to do’ list, if I’m honest I have also...

Last week I stood among the masses at a Muse gig in Manchester as they belted out some of their anthems. Whilst not a Muse fan per se, I was there to accompany a friend who has stood next to me over the years and I loved every minute of it. Tomorrow I will sing a different anthem after spending the last couple of weeks educating my boys with some Welsh words of...

If someone had said to me 5 years ago that one day I would entering the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam to the cheers of the crowd on the way to setting a new record for the marathon, I’d have been inclined to think of them as a little crazy! Amazingly though this is what actually happened last Sunday. I wasn’t winning the race and it wasn’t a new course...

Over the the last year the neverendinglist has become the first chapter in my own story. It started as a silly little blog, an outlet for some of the dreams in life that we talk about, but quickly forget as daily responsibilities stop us in our tracks, or procrastination prohibits us from acting upon our appetite for adventures. So as I celebrate the passing of the first...

Any road of happiness needs to incorporate a voyage of exploration. Sadly, in the modern World there isn’t a whole lot left to discover anew. But a passage of personal discovery does still lie ahead. I’ve been getting itchy feet for a while and an urge to travel. However, responsibilities at home have meant I’ve had to reign in my readiness to roam and...

Four years ago I set up the first memories box for the boys and as each year passes we close the lid and start afresh with a new cardboard collector to house our collage of life. Anything and everything can disappear inside, from sketches, to photos, to postcards. Slowly, but surely these little boxes are building a home for our memories. The boys will randomly pull out...

It’s time for a challenge and this one may take some time! On Sunday I completed the Hoylake 10k, nothing exceptional in that, it’s a distance I’ve covered many times since discovering a love of running. What was exceptional though was that I asked lots of people to run it with me and some of them did. They each had differing abilities and differing...

One of the best things I’ve discovered in being Dad, is that my boys much like me are exuberant little explorers with a desire for discovery. Day trips and holidays over the last few years have seen us embrace the outdoors, spending nights under canvas and bobbing on the open seas, but the time has come to swap the tranquility of open spaces for the hustle and...
