I’ve now been living in London for exactly a month! I’m starting writing this blog post on the London Underground, just coming in to Edgware Road on the Hammersmith and City line. I’m on my way back from work, so it’s pretty busy right now but I’ve managed to grab a seat and start tapping […]
Six years ago, a young, innocent and fresh-faced boy found himself suddenly transplanted from the wilds of deepest, darkest Wales to the seething cosmopolitan mass that is Cardiff (well, that’s how it seemed at the time, anyway).

It’s over three years since I graduated from Cardiff University in English Literature & History, and I’m about to go back for more. On Tuesday, I picked up my student card, and so I’m officially a postgraduate student. Tomorrow, I’ll be enrolling with the School of English, Communication and Philosophy for a MA in English […]

One of my tasks as the groom was to give a wedding speech, which I had great fun writing and delivering! It seemed to go down well, and since I wrote out my speech in full beforehand, I’ll post the text on here – my actual delivery may have been slightly different. You can also […]
You may have noticed that my blog has been a bit quiet lately, and that’s because I’m getting married. Now, the day has come, and I am getting married to my dear and wonderful Beverley at 1pm today. Woo, and indeed, hoo! I’m feeling pretty calm at the moment, with just under six hours to […]
The latest Doctor Who Magazine has a review of Short Trips: How the Doctor Changed my Life, which is very exciting, especially since reviewer Matt Michael speaks very highly of it! Here are a few quotes: Big Finish’s new collection of short stories is a departure from previous releases in that it’s entirely written by […]
Blimey, this month is turning out to be busy! Here’s a few things that have happened, or are happening, or will happen in this merry month of November. Birthdays! I turned 23 yesterday, and Bev followed hot on my heels with her 23rd birthday today. So various celebratory activities and events have been in order, […]
