#115 Complete a 365 day photo blog
Photography has always been a bit of a passion of mine ever since Mum and Dad bought me a second hand Canon SLR during my teens. It’s something I’ve dipped in and out of over the years and kept me in gainful employment for a time (albeit without great financial reward). Now the creative urge is surging again and so it’s time to make another addition to the list and get...
Read More:: A pint with Dad
A pint with Dad is not on the neverendinglist as it has already been done on many occasions, however it was only last night that I realised the true significance of this opportunity as we chatted over a glass or two of beery flavoured water. See my dad was never lucky enough to experience this simple act that I have taken for granted over the years. As we lost ourselves in manchat amidst the...
Read More#51 Be vegetarian for a month
Why oh why! I’ve always been a bit of meat-lover. Be it the simple bacon butty, a steamed chicken breast, a juicy burger or a good old fashioned steak. For the next month this is to change as I challenge my taste buds and willpower in a quest to live off that which is grown or produced rather than that which is slaughtered. Now it’s important to point out that I have no issue with...
Read More#17 Make a pot
Today saw me throw my first pot and tick off #17 on the neverendinglist. I’ve no idea what the thought process or inspiration was for wanting to craft something out of clay, but this simple act was a satisfying addition to the script for life, the concept for which is to add memories and experiences along the way. Not only do I now have the pot sat atop a shelf at home, more importantly I...
Read More:: Footprints
People walk in and out of our lives all the time creating footprints as we go. The ebb and flow of life much like the coming and going of the tide begins to wash away the footprints that weren’t trod on solid ground and slowly they disappear from view as we continue upon the path we are a travelling. Not all footprints disappear though, some are created on the right foundations and...
Read More#106 Enter the World Bog Snorkelling Championships
With a bout of tendonitis having killed off my London Marathon dream and the Guinness World Record attempt simultaneously stopped in its infancy I need another outlet to fill the void left by the lack of running relief. The easy option would be to wheel out the bike or hit the cross trainer as a substitute, but life isn’t about easy, life is about crazy dreams! Having assessed my options...

No words needed with this one. Whatever happens keep...
Read More#85 Buy a cow
When I added ‘buy a cow’ to the neverendinglist it was my intention to rock up at the local livestock auction and bid on a young calf. As with most of my ideas in life the logistics weren’t really thought through and after some research it appears that buying a cow is a bit of a minefield for someone with little livestock experience or the facilities to accommodate said cow....
Read More:: I am daddy
Over the last three and half years life has changed a bit! With it my sense of perspective has also changed. The time that has passed since then has been without doubt the most defining period of my life so far and for all the things that have not gone quite as planned, one has been an undoubted success. That is being daddy, a role which I love and wouldn’t change for the world. I’d...
Read More#25 Win a race
The last thing I won was a little slab of white marble adorned with a plastic cricket emblem and a bit of engraved shiny gold effect metal. The prize for nudging a boundary off the pads in the Denbighshire Cup some 27 years ago. I’d love to explain how those runs finished a century innings after hours toiling at the crease, but it would be a story of fantasy. The fact of it was that...
