It’s christmas!

This years festivities bring a little moment of reflection for me. Years have gone by since childhood excitement. That buzz and constant “has he been?”. The freedom of youth which allows magic and sparkle to run wild. But this year has a particular wholesomeness absent from previous. A full circle moment, one might say. For […]

Stay Wholesome..

There comes a point in any persons life where you hit the stage of surrender. A surrender you will stand strong for, rebel against and heck, even fight off. But sometimes there is no other way in life than to just wave the white flag. A moment of defeat. A moment of sadness. A moment […]

Let Them…

Have you ever watched so closely as a pressure gage races further and further out of the green and into the dangerous deep red? Sitting thinking what will happen when the pressure reaches that frightening perilous stage. Wondering what will be when fragments of perforated metal hit every part of its surroundings at an exponential […]

Always On Stage

Today’s writing spot brings me back to where it all started; the viewing corner. This evening’s delicious view is truly picturesque. How can a November night look so… special?

Is romance dead?

You catch me on this majestic mid-October evening, large crisp glass of Pinot Grigio in hand, relaxing on my rather lengthy balcony, viewing the surroundings in a much brighter light than last week’s post. The sky shines a bright blue with the glimmer of sun atop fluffy white clouds, which tease us with their bright […]

Years and years later…

So, it’s been a minute. Now a 33 year old (26 what do you mean?) living back in Manchester City Centre with a whole different outlook on life. To those who read my blog previous, and those reading it for the first time now, it’s apparent I still have something to say…. As I sit […]

It’s never too late…

It’s never too late to follow your dreams. I recently have gone back to university to create a new future for myself. Take a read…

Who Is Rowan?

I think it’s only important I delve into a little bit about me. Who I am, where I come from and what I do. I mean I can’t expect you to read this blog if you’ve no idea who the man behind the keyboard is. So it’s time to get personal. Those of you who […]
