About

the • gritty • nitty

I have a passing interest in astrophotography, landscape photography, good food, good coffee, good wine and cocktails done right. You’ll find me listening to fine music, looking up at dark skies in far away places and petting all good dogs.

I have a dog called Enzo and a wife called Jo. I like to play retro video games and my favorite food is homemade pizza.

Originally from the UK, I now live in Houston Texas, USA.

Ain’t it Sad

There’s a certain theatrical charm to Money, Money, Money by ABBA - a song that sparkles on the surface, yet carries something more restless underneath.

Young

An intimate reflection on time, youth, and the fleeting nature of who we once were. Unfolding a conversation, where familiar faces stir emotions that never quite faded. Revisiting the feeling, while the moment is out of reach. Preservation. The desire to freeze time, to hold onto a version of ourselves that felt simpler, more open, more alive.

Say of Me

Released in 2018 as part of her album Look Up Child, “You Say” became more than just a hit, it became a kind of anthem for anyone who has ever wrestled with self-doubt. Built on a simple, steady piano progression, the song leaves space for what matters most, the message.

Pomegranate Gimlet

If you are going to have a cocktail, have a good one! This is an update to the classic gimlet with pomegranate juice to add vibrancy to the flavor profile. It's a great drink for the holidays.

Mistletoe Martini

The Mistletoe Martini is ready for the holidays. A cocktail created to capture the spirit of the season. The Mistletoe Martini blends the flavors of cranberry and elderflower. Because it uses a light fruit juice instead of all heavy liqueurs, the flavor is refreshing.
