My name is Benjamin. I come from the UK (although I was born in New Zealand) and I have been described as having a ginger personality. Whatever that means. I assume they're referring to my hair and my Ronald Weasley nature. Aside from that, I'm the only male blogger worth knowing.

You can thank Amber for that lovely introduction, but you deserve much more than just a small paragraph showing my nutty nature, therefore if you do wish to find out more, please visit the

Nearby murder

My time in Spain is nearly up, and after 2 weeks of enjoying the sun, swimming in the pool and watching the UK flooding from a distance; I was glad to be going back. That was until I got a phone call from my brother explaining there had been a murder just outside our estate:

Source: BBC News

A walker has discovered the body of a man lying in some woodland in a part of a Berkshire town.

Police were alerted on Tuesday at about 1430 BST by a member of the public who found the man’s body in a wooded area near Total Rise, Warfield, Bracknell.

From talking to my brother, the body was actually found outside the entrance to our estate in a lay-by, and that he already had had the police over for questioning if he had seen/heard anything.

Usually when I am at home on my own, with my parents both being in Spain and my brother being mostly at work, I am shit scared enough as it is. Making sure all the windows and doors are shut/locked/safe… now this has to happen 2 days before I go back. I am not really looking forward to it. Potential murderer about. So please don’t be shocked if you see the headline news:

“17 year old, ginger teenager found murdered in his UK household”

Wow, that’s quite scary. That’s like when that girl was murdered in Prospect Park - that’s a couple of minutes away from my parents’ house (where I lived at the time) and even closer to the house we lived in before that (just off Oxford Road in Reading, it has a … reputation, if you know what I mean).

Still, don’t let idiots like this guy stop you from having any fun. Just because one person has been killed doesn’t mean you will… Says me, who’d probably hide under my bed if I were alone at night in the midst of something like that…) :P

Wow, that is horrible! I would be very scared if something like that happened near my house. I’d sleep in a friend’s house or something for a month, like a chicken ;( But you know what they say, you are not safe anywhere. People have don’t respect anything or anyone anymore, so you might as well go on with your life and not alter what you usually do because of that :)

By the way, Spain sounds terrific! Do you go there often? Do you speak Spanish? I am of Spanish heritage and I’ve always wanted to visit :)
