A little personal note to go with this.

I’ve been quieter than usual for a while now, and the truth is that the ongoing employment situation has had a much bigger impact on me than I probably wanted to admit.

I’ve spent a long time trying to keep pushing through it, keep working where I can, keep helping other people, and keep acting like I was fine. But eventually you have to recognise when you need to put some of that energy back into yourself.

The situation is still ongoing, and I’m still dealing with the uncertainty and the consequences of it. I’m also being completely open about the fact that things are financially very difficult at the moment. I’m pretty much broke, and I’m actively looking for work while I try to get myself back on steadier ground.

So if anyone knows of suitable work, particularly anything where my paramedic, event medical, clinical, training or operational experience might be useful, I’d genuinely appreciate a message or a point in the right direction.

For now, I need to give myself some space to recover properly rather than forcing content out when my head and heart aren’t really in it.

This page means a lot to me, and so do the people who have supported it. I’m not closing the door on it, and I’m not disappearing forever. I just need a bit of time.

Thank you for sticking around, and thank you to everyone who has checked in.

Keep shining while I’m away. 💛

The Senior Service does it again. ⚓️

Royal Navy take the win at Twickenham today in the Army Navy game — grit, graft, and getting the job done when it matters. Massive respect to both sides for another cracking contest, but today belongs to the matelots.

Rum gone. Morale high. Army in shambles.

T&H Royal Navy Deck boots.

This was the ammo boot for years for the Royal Navy and my favourite style of parade boots. I have a couple of pairs in various states of disrepair. All three need re-soling and heeling when cash flow is a little better!

But I just love the style. That’s why I rescued the ones I’ve got! They’re rare these days- and nothing is like them!

And I know Surrey Parade Shine AndPolish has a pair or two

Previously shined boots by a pro have come my way as the beeswaxing has cracked and the polish has come away. Let’s see what I can do with them.
