I believe a good relationship, especially a marriage, is based on honesty and trust. If you’re honest with each other that will always be the perfect foundation that almost everything else rests on. Jamie and I have been discussing this recently because she sees other relationships and marriages breaking down and feels concerned that we […]
Falling in love with my car again meant this morning dropping it off to be valeted so I asked Jamie to pick me up and I would take her for breakfast in Sandbach, which she obviously agreed to because its one of her favourite things to do. Now a day out with my best mate […]
A personalised number plate? Decided to buy a number plate that reflects me ALB but could not decide what else to have on it because of the rules around not being allowed to have 70 on a plate on a car built in 2019 So to cut a long story short I can only add […]
