The Foundry – Hotdesk Heaven for Freelancers.
The freelance worker is on the rise these days and I have to admit I’m one of them. I work for myself or, in reality, I work for a great many people and companies, spending my working days juggling tasks and deadlines. This isn’t a blog post about the trials and tribulations of the freelance…
Yoga – How To Practice At Home
So regular readers will know that I think yoga rocks. I’ve waxed lyrical before about the benefits and how much I enjoy it. (PS. Absolutely none of the images in this post are of me!) Until recently I usually practised yoga in a class under the watchful eye of a qualified teacher. Sometimes I would…

I am ridiculously pleased to be writing a post about what is essentially a bit of pavement but it’s one of the many lovely things I’ve seen happening in east Belfast since moving back here last year. It also helps that this particular part of the Greenway has opened just minutes from my front door…

Thai-Riffic! (sorry)
I really am loving Northern Ireland’s Year of Food and Drink, not least because I keep getting invited to these wonderful events. Belfast’s latest culinary offering has just opened its doors and even though the weather was tipping it down on the night the great and good of the city were cramming themselves in to try…
The Five Things I Never Knew About Cycling
So for about the last two months I’ve taken to the road. I don’t drive and live at the end of a comparatively flat cycle path so it barely makes sense for me NOT to cycle into my day job in Belfast City Centre. I’ve cycled before but this year I’ve really been bitten by…
