I love drumming! Who knew?! Lots of people have asked me over the months which challenge has been my favourite. Well, I’m not sure I have a single favourite, but I certainly fell in love with drumming, and want to do more of it. I think this might be the one new skill...

Whoever came up with the idea to attach a pub crawl to the London Underground Circle Line must have been light of feet, heavy of wallet and clean of liver. Let’s face it, they must have been in their twenties… Not a slightly overweight (some say cuddly), penniless...

Remember when you were a kid and your mum used to trim your hair between visits to the hairdressers? It never ended well, did it! I remember mine being so short one time that there was barely an inch between my hair line and the end of my fringe. I looked like a monk...

I think the last time I sat in front of a sewing machine was during school Home Economics classes – so we’re talking 36/37 years ago! I’ve always been a dab hand with a needle and thread for minor repairs to hems, seams and missing buttons, but anything more complex...

My interest in the bass guitar began when I was a hormonal teenager and had the world’s largest crush on John Taylor from Duran Duran. I’ve dated a few bass players over the years and always kind of thought of it as a sexy instrument, but I never once gave any though...

When my mate Simon set me a challenge to spend a night in a haunted house, I told him he’d have to come with me as there was no way I would do that alone! So, on a fairly mundane Saturday evening in September, we set off for the picturesque village of Finchingfield in...
