Things I Love & Things I Hate About Living in the US (So far…)

Well after my essay on my first 6 months here, I started to ponder the things I love and the things I hate about living in the US (maybe Colorado specifically) thus far.  None of these have had to be thought up, they’ve been on my mind since I have been here so this should be pr

6 Months into My US Adventure

In Swansea University (my 1 year of it before transferring to the University of East Anglia) I vividly remember printing out photos of houses in the United States and pinning them above my PC for motivation.  Then, I didn’t really understand the differences between States, I jus

Spending a Few Minutes Looking Back at 2019

My first full year back in Norwich, after making the move in May 2018. I am usually on here at the end of a year saying how epic a year was but at the end of 2018 looking back it ended well but certainly one of the most challenging ones. I was looking forward to a full year back in th

A Year Back in Norwich

Almost a year ago to the day I returned to Norwich again after a 4 year absence. I had previously lived in Norwich (or Norfolk) from 2003 – 2007 and 2012 – 2014 but I have always said it feels like home and the main reason for leaving each time has been to make the necessa

After an epic end to 2017 with my new niece Dottie Rose Davies being born, it’s time to look ahead to the next 12 months! A lot of people mock New Years resolutions but I think if it’s an opportunity to stop and think about what you have got up to in the last 12 months and

Weather for Penguins

After a decent flight from Tampa to Pittsburgh (empty so row per person), I landed and had a fairly short journey to my hotel which was sandwiched between the Baseball and American Football stadiums. I had arrived pretty late and it was starting to snow, so I didn’t venture too

Tampin’ in Tampa

After a great few days in South Beach I headed to Fort Lauderdale where the weather was equally great.  After checking in I wandered along the coast and then headed into the centre for Game 1 Vs the Florida Panthers. It was pretty odd going in Hockey Jersey in 30 degree heat but in an

Welcome to Miami… Bienvenidos a Miami

It feels like I have spent 0 time in Birmingham or My Apartment over the last couple of months, and packing for the final week of work to go straight to airport was a pain but it’s a lovely way to kick off my December/January time off after this ludicrously short contract. The c
