Would you believe it – SimeWorld finally made it to being an adult! As ever, it’s crazy to think back on what’s gone on in those 18 years, but this annual post is going to focus on the previous 12 months. Incredibly I am still working for the same company in St Helens, and this …

The nights are drawing in, and Halloween is almost upon us – that must mean it’s time to wish SimeWorld a Happy Birthday! It is now 17 years since I started SimeWorld, and I think watching my kids grow up too quickly has slightly numbed me to how fast that has gone over. It is …

So we finally reach Sweet 16….years since I launched SimeWorld, and it’s time for my annual update. Well let’s start with my family. Joanne is still working for Knowsley Education, and doing a fantastic job at updating her skills. She alreay has BSL Level 1 under her belt along with a Braille qualification, and she …

As 2016 draws to a close and Christmas is just weeks away, I once again find myself looking back across the last 12 months and being amazed at just how much has changed in my life since I started SimeWorld all those years ago. Over the last 12 months a lot has stayed the same …

Well it’s October 17th so it must be time to wish SimeWorld a Happy Birthday. It always seems incredible to me that I started this website so many years ago.

Welcome to the teenage years SimeWorld! How time flies – I remember clearly seeing a certain Ron’s website and being inspired to get my own domain. As I’ve mentioned before, I tend to only keep this domain for e-mail purposes these days, but I can’t imagine a time where there isn’t at least something here …

So, my old blog/website reaches the grand old age of 12. It seems weird to me that my website will become a teenager before my daughter does! The last time I posted on here I commented that 2012 hadn’t been an easy year. Looking back now, it seems that I was past the worst, and …

Well, it’s that time of year again folks, where I can’t resist popping a little birthday message to mark the passing of another 12 months in the life of SimeWorld and all the people associated with it. I will start by saying that 2012 hasn’t been an easy year by any means. I was made …

Given that I’ve been updating the website recently, I thought I’d take the opportunity for a quick update on a few things. Not that anybody will read this, I know, but it keeps me happy anyway 🙂 I’m now working on a 3-month contract in Central Manchester, as I was made redundant from my previous …

As the more eagle eyed of you may have spotted, I have made some fundamental changes to SimeWorld. In short, I’ve moved the website onto a totally different hosting package (Linux instead of Windows) which effectively meant starting from scratch. I still have all the posts from my original website stored in a database, but …
