So it has been a month since I “officially” moved to London and started my job, and I have been trying to keep a little diary of The GC in London and make some initial observations. It’s certainly been a busy month, I’ve been late for work about 3 times, done my first ever Yoga […]

5 brands I wouldn’t be seen dead in
Back in 2016 I wrote a post entitled 5 brands I wouldn’t be seen dead in, so I thought I would take a look back at it and see if they have changed at all or if there are any new entrants…. Superdry Absolutely no question that my feelings on Superdry remain, if anything they […]

Being Diagnosed with Coeliac Disease
It was quite a round about way that I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, but then I suppose most diagnoses are. I had been in Hamburg for the weekend when I woke up covered in spots. Being relatively used to skin complaints and allergies, I assumed it had been a reaction to the Greek food […]
