It’s been a minute since my last post. Admittedly, my inbox hasn’t exactly been bursting with cries for more of Goldstitch’s musings, but I like to think there’s a quiet crowd out there — all nodding along in spirit — eager for the next offering from a random fifty-year-old man with thoughts to share. AndContinueContinue reading “A New Post Cometh…”

Never Meet Your Heroes…
They say that you should never meet your heroes. It is a warning that they may not always meet your expectations. That the person that you have admired for years, sometimes decades, may not be the person that you thought they were. And if that’s the case, then it’s better to avoid coming into contactContinueContinue reading “Never Meet Your Heroes…”
#DUCKTALES – Blue Nation
It was a day of firsts for me on Saturday! My first time in Looe, my first time at a music festival and my first time appearing on stage. As you will know, I appear in the occasional social media post, but I usually tend to shy away from the limelight and fly under theContinueContinue reading “#DUCKTALES – Blue Nation”
Unaccustomed as I am…
I have never written to my MP before, any MP actually…but I decided to give it a go to see if it would stop me ranting on Facebook! Dear Mr Moon I hope that you are well. I felt compelled to write after the recent press coverage about ‘donations’ and gifts that seem to beContinueContinue reading “Unaccustomed as I am…”
It’s been a while…
2024 will be the 4th year where A Goldstitch Christmas has, in our own small way, tried to spread a little bit of festive magic and Christmas spirit to people who may need a helping hand when times are tough. Since we started fundraising in 2021, we’ve been able to reach out to and, hopefully,ContinueContinue reading “It’s been a while…”
Pembrolizumab…completed it, mate!
Time Flies When You’re Having Fun…. I had my last treatment of Pembrolizumab on Friday, two years have certainly flown by. It’s been quite a surreal time in a lot of ways, and I’ve had a lot of opportunity to think and reflect on life. I’ve not had an epiphany though, or a religious experience,ContinueContinue reading “Pembrolizumab…completed it, mate!”
This is not a drill…
Shhhh…Christmas is coming! It’s that time of year again… My birthday is approaching and, as anybody who knows me well will be aware, so is the beginning of the Christmas build up. I’ve always said that once my birthday is over and done with it is perfectly acceptable to start thinking about the festive season. ContinueContinue reading “This is not a drill…”
The Goldstitch Blog – Week 5
Week 5 – 29th to 4th February 2023 It’s been a long week! Well, this week has certainly flown by, hasn’t it. Typical of how most of us live our lives, it has been a cycle of work, supermarket, sleep, repeat. It’s easy to find a routine and then life becomes a version of GroundhogContinueContinue reading “The Goldstitch Blog – Week 5”
The Goldstitch Blog – Week 4
Week 4 – 22nd to 28th January 2023 The tree is coming down…or maybe not! I had said that I’d be happy to keep the Christmas tree up all year round. I miss it when it’s gone but I do appreciate that it is not the done thing. Being full of flu for the last fewContinueContinue reading “The Goldstitch Blog – Week 4”
The Goldstitch Blog – Week 3
Week 3 – 15th to 21st January 2023 Three weeks in… It hasn’t been the start of the year that I had expected. The flu had scuppered any plans that I may have had, not that there was going to be very much going on in the first few weeks of January anyway, I suppose. IContinueContinue reading “The Goldstitch Blog – Week 3”
