An award-winning UK dad blog
How are we in June already? Somehow or other, Father's Day is just over a fortnight away. Yes, people, this is your 16-day warning! It's often said that dads are difficult to buy for. I have to admit that I struggle with ideas for my old man. Similarly, I find it hard to think of things ...
As I mentioned last week, I'm planning on doing a 40 before 40. I love a challenge so intend to do all of them between my 39th and 40th birthdays. That's a lot to pack into 52 weeks, so I'm beginning to make my plans now. Obviously, they need to be completely new experiences, so here are ...
One thing that most parents hope is that their children will go one better than them. I'm confident that mine will manage to do so. There's one easy win they can get under their belts for starters.

I've been writing Diary of the Dad since 2010 and it's gone from a small hobby to my full-time job.
