    Millennial Gent Diary

    So, it has been a while. Sorry. Sometimes life drifts along and sometimes it come in droves – and it has been flying lately. I’m not complaining; it has been a maelstrom of deadlines, work trips and holidays. But it hasn’t given me much time to speak to you guys, so apologies. As an example,…

    Escape to the country

    With weather like we are having it seems a crime to rush away to foreign climes. S and I love a good globe-trotting jaunt just as much as the next person, but as the madness of the last few weeks faded away we decided to escape for some R&R in the countryside. S knew of…

    The Great Masked Ball

    Tonight S and I donned our best masks and finery and headed off to The Great Masked Ball. This Swan Lake-themed immersive theatre and dining experience was one S stumbled across via those kind folks at Design My Night. In the vein of so many of these sort of events, we received instructions and invitations…

    Fun in the sun at RHS Hampton Court

    First off, apologies for the long silence. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and one side effect of writing for a living is that blogging can seem like a busman’s holiday when things get hectic at this end. I’m not sure why. I’m probably not doing it right, but there you go. Either…

  • Sunset over the Downs

    This post was supposed to be titled “Nerd Prom” and be celebrating S and I enjoying a night out for her work – but I forgot to take enough photos of us to merit that. Luckily, Mother Nature came to my rescue. Last night S and I got all dressed up and headed up to…

    Champagne rooftop nights in Singapore

    I know Las Vegas is traditionally called the “bright light city” but I am going to put in a vote for Singapore to be, at the least, a very close second. Every year my whole industry descends on Singapore for its second biggest annual event. So last week I packed up my case with two…

    Country Living Spring Fair

    The weather has taken a turn for the worse, but S and I are not giving up on the summer yet. Since we can’t do actual spring and summer things, we headed up to Alexandra Palace for the Country Living Spring Fair. S is something of a connoisseur of all things Country Living, having designed…

  • Be back soon

    It’s been a bit quiet here recently. Normally I can blame a spate of radio silence here on a busy work schedule. However my excuse is nowhere near as arduous this time. I’m on holiday this week. After a delightful Easter spent with family (and too much chocolate), S and I have escaped for the…

  • 19 questions with…me

    I’ve always wanted to do one of these and since this is my blog I figure I can do what I like with it. There is also a bigger point here – two bigger points in fact. The first is that some of the answers to this surprised even me and sometimes it is entertaining…

  • Supporting the Hammers – for a night

    “I’m forever blowing bubbles…” Actually I’m not. I feel like I should admit early that I am not a West Ham fan. My dad, however, is and for his birthday my sister and I had plans to take him to a match. So this evening we wrapped ourselves up, draped ourselves in maroon and sky…
