A blog about being a pretty average dad… and stuff (formerly Henry's Blog)
I don’t know about you, but barely a day goes by where I don’t see somebody tapping away on their smartphone with a horrendously smashed-up screen. I don’t know what it is that’s causing everyone to drop their phones so hard that they smash the screen, but people seem to do it far more often…
The lovely people at the Handmade Burger Co recently got in touch, asking if we wanted to give their new kids menu a try. It probably doesn’t take a genius to work out what I told them in response – not least of all because you’re about to read my review. So, on a sunny…
With just over 4 weeks to go until the big weekend, I thought it was about time I shared a bit more detail with you all. I thought I’d do it as a (hidden) blog post rather than an email or word document, mainly so that I can update it later on when Sara gets…
iew offer was a bit of a new one to me – I was contacted with the offer of reviewing a new Lottery-based website, called LottoLand. I was also give £25 free credit to try out some of the games on offer – gambling with somebody else’s money is definitely a lot more pleasurable after…

Since starting this blog I’ve had some fantastic opportunities, with the chance to get stuck into some improv Lego building and some cutting edge smart home tech, among other fun stuff. Having said that, the big kid in me – we all have him, the one who wanted to be a racing driver growing up – is practically…
Have you ever come back from a holiday and found yourself exaggerating some of your experiences when you tell people how it was? Perhaps you weren’t quite as adventurous with the local cuisine as you might want people to think? Maybe you didn’t get round to visiting the local landmarks, but don’t want your friends…
If I were to tell you that my son owns a piece of clothing associated with a world-famous organisation which contains the branding of half a dozen major organisations, I suspect you’d think he was a fan of Formula 1 racing. Failing that, maybe some major American sport, where sponsorships are more important than the…
