My friend Simon, who wrote the very first press release about ALife4Sale back in March last year, and started the ball rolling on the huge amount of international coverage that my auction received, lives down in Devon. So with a few days to spare before heading off to Spain, I packed some stuff in Martin’s […]

No return visit to the UK would be complete without calling in to Scarborough on the north-east coast. I lived here for nine years, from early 1993 to the end of 2001. During that time, in partnership with my mate Bruce, we owned and operated Scarborough Jet Skiing, a jet ski hire, sales and repair […]
