Why does the word ‘Expectation’ have such negative connotations? It is all, ‘Have low expectations and you’ll never be disappointed’ or ‘I find my life better with low expectations.’ The internet is awash with hundreds of such statements. All I can say is there must be a lot people out there aiming low or with […]
Dominant headspace. What allows me to access my Dominant headspace? What does it feel like when I am in this space and how does it differ to the way that I think and feel at other times? Supporting people to try and find their headspace is much easier that finding my own. Telling people […]
Having spent the best part of 2020 in disruption, mainly due to Covid, we both felt that 2021 should not be a repeat year. After all, things can only get better, right? In all seriousness, missy and I looked at what 2021 might look like for us. Where might kids be in terms of study […]

The two friends were members of the Middlesex Regiment and had been in the battle for Hong Kong in 1941 before both being captured by the Japanese and interned in a POW camp until 1945.

It was in some respect the start of commercialised leisure whereby tickets were sold at prices that only those with a disposable income could afford. One might assume that only those […]
Bestvibe.com offered me the AV Wand to try, which I happy accepted as this wand was cordless, rechargeable and travel sized. It also looked a bit cool being black with a little white collar! Out of the box the wand has a nice feel to it; that usual soft-to-touch surface you associate with a lot […]
Despite the fact we don’t do a great deal of flogging, I do enjoy it. I would probably say that I have never really executed a flogging scene, or a scene that involved much flogging, depending on your point of view. My initial attraction to flogging was the look of them, and of the smell. […]
