BBC Breakfast Mother’s Day Video

Chris McGuire lost his mum when he was 20
For some Mother’s Day can be a difficult day, as it reminds them of what they’ve lost. For Out of Depth Dad blogger Chris McGuire, who lost his mum when he was 20, it wasn’t until the birth of his own son that he was able to find a way to celebrate the day again.

Here’s one of numerous features I’ve written for @cyclingplus – here illustrated by the amazing @spencerwilson8 , who devised and illustrated ‘The Modern MAMIL: How to look pro’. Imagine the scene: the sun is shining and the birds are singing. You’re on your bike, riding at that perfect pace: not too slow so you’re burning carbs, not too fast so you take in the vista around you. Your freshly-shaved legs are looking good in perfectly fitting shorts and your tan lines are maturing nicely – in fact, it would be easy to be mistake you for a pro. You chat with fellow riders who are great company, while other road users happily, safely and respectfully keep their distance. The only thing on your mind is what type of coffee to order when you arrive at the friendly little café that lies just beyond the crest of the next rewardingly challenging incline.” Chris McGuire, Cycling Plus https://chrismcguirewriter.wordpress.com/2019/07/14/the-perfect-ride-cycling-plus-feature/ #cycling #cyclist #cyclingplus #mamil #bike #funny #rider #lycra #feature #magazinefeature #hacks #instacycle #instacyclist

#NewPost #New Here's my latest @outofdepthdad post. This time I'm talking about some of the funniest things my son says... "For some reason, for as long as he’s been verbal, my son has always mispronounced the word ‘Banana’ as ‘Baniana’. That rogue ‘i’ may not seem like much, but it means his pronunciation, with its extra syllable, causes giggles whenever it’s used. I don’t know why, but somehow the word ‘Baniana’ is funny. Worse than that, I’ve started to use it myself – in a totally involuntary manner – while out and about. If a child gets funny looks for saying ‘Can I have baniana shake please?’, you can be sure than a 40-something is considered very strange indeed!" #Funny #Dadlife #Parenting #Banana #Jokes #Outofdepthdad https://outofdepthdad.com/2019/07/13/what-did-he-just-say/

Here’s my interview with @macaines , for the launch of @lympstone_manor , as seen in Western Morning News: “I’ll not be happy!” said one old lady, so everyone on the bus could hear, “if he ruins that place, Courtlands House. Lovely it is!” Her companion nodded in agreement. “In fact, if he does, I’ll never watch his films ever again! He should stick to acting, blooming Michael Caine!” I overheard this conversation, between a pair of endearingly-confused locals, just over a year ago. Today I find myself in the lush surroundings of Lympstone Manor (formerly Courtlands House), East Devon’s newest luxury hotel, talking to the man behind it all. Chef Michael Caines, 48, and I are seated in one of Lympstone Manor’s lounges – with impressive views of the bucolic Exe Estuary – discussing the hotel, that he clearly sees as the culmination of an impressive career. Born in Exeter in 1969, Caines was adopted soon afterwards: “I was adopted at the age of six weeks old into a loving family. I’m not a privileged kid. I didn’t get given anything, I’ve had to work for it.” Chris McGuire, Western Morning News https://chrismcguirewriter.wordpress.com/2019/07/13/michael-caines-lympstone-manor/ #interview #michaelcaines #michaelcaine #lympstonemanor #devon #westernmorningnews #newspaperinterview #chef #writer #writing

Here I am on @bbc3cr today arguing that stay at home fathers aren't inferior parents. Rather they are a valid part of a changing society in which women shouldn't be expected to be the only parent capable of, or responsible for, childcare. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p07d3kg2 From 2:42:05 #BBC3Counties #SAHD #Dadlife #Parenting #outofdepthdad #fatherhood #gender #genderequality #genderroles
