We're only human, born to make mistakes.
I dedicate this video I made to anyone struggling with mental health issues. You're never alone. You're always loved. You're always needed. "chatter in the skull" is our worst enemy. A great book is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle - not a cure, but a help ❤️

Sunday evenings in winter 87 were so evocative for me. Nothing particularly special happened in our little house in Saundersfoot. Just the smells, the vibe, and that feeling of security.

My videos are not designed to promote consumerism, they’re designed to bring back memories.
It’s a vibe thing.

This one is “watching 90s US cable TV”

If it strikes a chord, that’s job done. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t….

My book will be published next year.
Gear Down and Growing Up: An attempted journey from boy to man, is the story about my one-way journey to Hong Kong when I was 21 in 1996.
They’ll be a book launch in HK and I can’t wait to be there.

Here’s my 90s Hong Kong tribute video.
