The Statue at St Pancras Station in London
The 9-metre tall Meeting Place statue at St Pancras is a wonderful piece of art. Sculpted by renowned sculptor Paul Day and unveiled in 2007, the piece will have been seen by millions. The attention to detail of the frieze is astonishing. The depth and feeling of each section deserves a long gaze. I always […]
David Bowie – Icon, Genius, Influencer
I awoke on the 10th January 2016 ready to open my birthday messages but was instead stunned to hear the news that David Bowie had passed away. As the news sunk in and I listened to Blackstar & Lazarus from the album that had just been released, tears filled my eyes. These songs from the […]

Euro 2020 Semi Final 2 – England v Denmark
So who will make the final? I naturally hope it’s England, but having been disappointed at this stage of the competition before, I am not counting any chickens!
