Activity Update

So, after a few weeks away from the blog, I've had many questions asking how the exercise is going, well after a very positive first week, with cycling, running and gymming, the following weeks haven't been so good. Work, marking and generally being lazy have got in the way of exercise.

Up-cycle Stoves.

As quite a few people know By now, I have started my own cottage industry. And except for the fact that I don't live in a cottage, and my industry consists of 3 sales things are going well. I am making homemade, up-cycled, alcohol burning stoves.

The start of a new me

So, today was meant to be the start of a new, fitter me. It hasn't started well, but more about that later. After spending 5 terms at my new school the team room cake is getting the better of me, and my jelly belly is expanding!

Bansko Peak Season Review

Bansko is the top winter sports resort in the Balkans and a weeks skiing in the Pirin mountains can be half the price of the Alps, but is it half as good? I traveled to the 'all season resort' over new year to test it out.

New Years Resolution

You join me on the second day of 2013 in a ski chalet in the lovely town of Bansko, Bulgaria. It is a beautiful sunny day, with perfect ski conditions up on the mountain, small queues for the lift and my friends are all skiing. Why am I sat here you may ask, well I have a knee roughly the size of a melon as one of my last acts of 2012 was to fall while skiing twisting my knee and ripping of stretching my ligaments in the process.
