I don't believe in ghosts... but I used to live with one
Posted on 5:57pm Monday 6th February 2012
Last Halloween my husband and I went on a tour of the ‘Haunted’ Preston Manor, billed as a Ghost Tour we thought we’d certainly get to see or sense something spooky. But despite being conducted in the dark on the night of the year the veil between the living and the dead is supposedly at its thinnest the only scary thing that happened was the fact the pubs were already shut by the time it was over.

Happy Brighton Christmas
Posted on 6:21pm Thursday 22nd December 2011
I'm always thankful to live where I do, I love Brighton and Hove and all that goes on here. And there is no greater time than Christmas to remind me just how diverse, archaic, fun, exciting and lovable this place is.

Forgive Me Brighton, For I Have Sinned...
Posted on 7:53pm Thursday 24th November 2011
Elton John once sang “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word”. Well personally I struggle to successfully emit words such as “capitalist”, “corporate”, “conservative” and otorhinolaryngologist. Anyway, I dig Elton’s jive. And today readers, you find me in a strangely apologetic mood. I’m not the sort of man who regrets what he has or hasn’t done, as, to be perfectly honest, I have lived (and am living) the kind of glamorous, on-trend, uber cool, organic and creative lifestyle that most of you, stuck in your bland open-plan offices and depressing “dress-down” Fridays, can only dream about.

Does Brighton Really Need A Football Club?
Posted on 10:06pm Tuesday 20th September 2011
On the way home from a wonderful traipse over the Downs with ma famille (wifey Jocasta and twins Lex & Nimsie), we drove by the massive construction that is the Amex Stadium, sat on the edge of said beautiful landscape like a gigantic alien robot beetle, ready to strike at the heart of the Falmer countryside.

Suzi and I had never been to Brighton. From inclement Scotland it appeared to be a dazzling jewel - and that’s what it was. The story of our year in the city begins here on May 17. An ex-teacher, my passions are Paris, Elton and Mozart, horse racing, writing, Suzi of course - and memories of Brighton, 2005 to 2006.
