Well, here we are once again Christmas and New Year, this year I’ve been focused outside my F1 Vault commitments on my silly little musical which is now on version three. But every year has its ups and downs this time of year is always mixed as we look in both directions. Reflecting on the F1 season, 2024 didn’t start […]
Christmas was less than a hundred days ago, and we are already at Easter, one of the shortest periods between the two because it’s based on the lunar cycle. Easter Sunday always falls on the Sunday after the first full moon following the Spring equinox in March and can be any date between 22 March and 25 April. This is […]
Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve written this or produced new content for this website/blog, but I’ve spent most of the year focused on my own wellbeing, other projects and my F1 site.

Covering this story has shown me how much we all depend on sport whether watching or taking part. I cover F1, I enjoy it though […]
The Holocaust and other genocide normally are taken as one big event, however, to understand our values as a country I believe that we need to look back. The fact however remains the same, ‘we didn’t keep our promise of never again,’ but we all have a responsibility to prevent genocide, This year I’m going to try something different, marking […]
2021 was another hard year, but every year presents challenges no more so than the last two as we continue to live through this pandemic. Things are more normal, but we know that variant most recently Omicron presents challenges. Hopefully this time next year we are in the ‘new normal’ without restrictions. In this edition I have been looking through […]
Being disabled makes me a member of a club of a billion people, we are different, and we are not the same, we may have the same condition but the way it affects us is very indvial. I know my challenges are different to a full-time wheelchair user, but as an ambulatory wheelchair user I am aware of the challenges, […]
We hear a lot about Parasport during the Paralympics, but apart from that where is the coverage and news about the success of our disabled athletes during the Paralympics or world championships.
