Struggling today! A key reason for being oneanddad is to be able to progress through the various stages of parenthood without having to partially start all over again. Soon he'll get himself out of bed and make his own breakfast... in my slightly sore head anyway.

I think I’m somewhere over China, Mongolia or Kazakhstan, but I’m not really sure! - One and Dad

One of the perks/challenges of my job is needing to travel on a semi-regular basis. For me, that means leaving the family behind for up to a week every two months.

Scotland or Sweden?!

Snowy scenes across the Pentland Hills and South Lanarkshire yesterday. A stunning drive that I’d love to do again in the summer while carrying more speed through corners.
