I can’t move. I can’t speak. I’ve done too much. This is the aftermath. Definitely a day of rest for me today I think.

I have never fished before – but now I’m all about making those memories. I got up early to be at Cannon Hall Farm at 6am to join my work friends and brother Lyndon on a fishing trip. What a day it was! It was one of the best days of my life. I took…

This weekend the whole family went to London. It started off being a simple invite by Gordon Ramsay to try his restaurant (Lucky Cat is AMAZING!) Then the Craft Guild of Chefs heard about our visit. We ended up having the most amazing weekend as a family. We visited Pub in the Park. We went…

I have the treatment and, like clockwork, a few days later it grabs on. I feel it in every joint, in my hands, my jaw. It feels like someone’s pulled me out of a washing machine and left me smothered in a wet duvet. But I have an exciting weekend with my family planned so…

To celebrate my brother coming over from Australia, we were invited to go eat at Adam Jackson’s Park Restaurant in York. What a truly wonderful experience it was. I can honestly say that it was one of – if not THE best meal – I’ve ever had. A massive thank you to the team that…

The thing you realise is: the world doesn’t stop. You have to go and have treatment, or tests, or injections, or scans – but everything else carries on. My brother Lyndon is over from Australia so he joined me on my hospital appointments this week. It takes time so it’s nice to have someone to…

It’s hard to know where to start with this one. I thought we were going out for Adele (my wife’s birthday.) They drove us to Cannon Hall Farm (where I work.) I walked into the marquee – and hundreds of faces stared back. Our friends Laura and Wendy had put on a surprise party for…

Happy Birthday to my absolute rock. I could not do this without my amazing wife Adele. She has been with me through everything – and continues to be amazing. I you love you with all my heart 😍 also fit !

My phone pings and it’s another message. You have to love WhatsApp – every day is a new surprise. I don’t know who will be contacting me next, but word has gotten around and all the UK’s most amazing chefs are rallying around to send me messages. It means so much. On days when I…

You think you are going on okay and then you have a massive reality check. Two weeks in France with the family, an amazing evening of support and now back to Weston Park to see Doctor Lester. Talk about coming back down to earth with a bump. This appointment is to check everything over to…
