Greetings & Salutations!

Wayne is a polymath who was born at a very early age and, quite impressively, has not died yet-something he considers to be a notable achievement.

He joined Freemasonry in 2006, the Holy Royal Arch in 2007, the S.R.I.A. in 2012, and the Ancient & Accepted Rite in 2013. In 2011, Wayne became the Master of Llannerch Lodge and has spent fourteen of the following fifteen years in one chair or another. His commitment to Masonry is extensive. He was a founding member of the Widows Sons North Wales chapter, served as the Provincial Webmaster for five years, the Assistant Provincial Mentor for five years, and was part of the Membership Pathways Team also for five years. Additionally, Wayne was an active member of the North Wales Association of Masonic Study for eight years,  as both a Speaker and committee member, he has also been giving talks across several provinces since 2017.

Wayne is also a fervent supporter of the Blood Bikes Wales charity, dedicating his time and effort to this vital cause, raising over £50,000 from talks and presentations.

Put simply Wayne is A Blood Biker, A CodeNinja, A Gamer, A Hacker, A Blogger, A Writer & Poet, A Speaker, A Freemason, A Rosicrucian, A Reader, A Spod, A Son, An Uncle, A Brother, A Man, AN INDIVIDUAL!

A busy Month

I have taken a step back from Freemasonry in North Wales for a simple reason. The rot in the system has become too obvious to ignore. Not the gentle moss that grows on an old stone wall, but the sort of creeping decay that makes you stop, fold your arms, and mutter...

Red or Blue Button

There is a question that is tearing the Internet apart, and no it is not about a dress and is it Black/Blue or White/Gold. It is:- Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone...

High Council 2026

I have returned from the SRIA High Council meeting with my mind humming like a golden hive in midsummer, every cell alive with ideas, symbols, and the soft crackle of revelation. There is something wonderfully absurd about it. Every year I think, surely this is the...

BBW – Masonic Open Day

Earlier today, I took a brief hiatus from haunting the digital wilds and shaking my metaphorical walking stick at the TikTok generation to wander down to the Maesgwyn Masonic Hall. Every now and then it’s good for a man to step out of the algorithmic shadows and...

VE Day (2026)

On this VE Day, I pause... as many of us do, to honour a generation who faced down the darkest storm the world had ever seen and still found the strength to rebuild, laugh again, and put the kettle on. It’s easy to romanticise history, to wrap it in sepia tones and...

Let Us Have a Chance of Change for a Change?

Today I went up into the hills to do something that actually matters for our collective future. I went to vote in what is undoubtedly the biggest and most important vote in our history as a nation. We are currently standing at a threshold where we have to decide if we...

BBW – May the Fourth be With You

A very happy Star Wars Day to all who celebrate the ancient Jedi tradition of doing the right thing even when it’s wildly inconvenient and involves travelling great distances with questionable navigation droids. And let’s be honest: if the Jedi were here in Wales...

The Cost of Progress – AKA Forced e-Waste

My poor old Kindle is about to be exiled to the wilds by Amazon, banished like some elderly hermit who has dared to outlive the fashions of the age. No more buying, no more downloading, no more anything. After years of loyal service, the little thing is being marched...

My Livejournal is Legally Allowed to Drink in the States

I received an email today informing me that my LiveJournal account, yes, that ancient digital relic, has officially turned 21. Twenty-one. As in, legally allowed to drink in every jurisdiction that still pretends LiveJournal is a thing. I had genuinely forgotten I...

Happy 20th Masonic Anniversary

Happy 20th Masonic Anniversary

Today marks my 20th anniversary of joining Freemasonry. On the 2nd of February 2006, I arrived at the Masonic Hall in Ruabon at 6pm, suited up and not entirely sure what I was walking into. That evening I was initiated into Llannerch Lodge in the Province of North...

WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED

Ladies, gentlemen, and those still scraping ice off their cars… it is with great reluctance, and absolutely no surprise, that I must announce that Punxsutawney Phil has betrayed us once again. Yes. On this sacred Groundhog Day, the furry little meteorological menace...

In Scotland its Burns Night, In Wales Carpet Burns Night

To the Welsh among us: “Happy Santes Dwynwen Day!”May your love be as enduring as a slate roof in a storm and your pronunciation confuse at least three Englishmen before lunchtime. To the Scots: “Happy Rabbie Burns Day/Night!”May your haggis be hearty, your whisky be...

We are doomed as a species

We are doomed as a species

Earlier today I was hurtling along a bypass on an emergency mission to acquire coffee — the kind of crisis that demands swift, decisive action. There I was on a dual carriageway, approaching the section where the road very helpfully provides an entire forest of signs...

I am Hysterical, err I mean Historical!

I’ve been haunting the digital wilds since about ’94, back when the web crackled, hummed, and occasionally threatened to set your modem on fire just for looking at it funny. A personal website here, a blog there, sometimes both held together with duct tape, HTML...

Have we, as a nation, genuinely become this fragile?

I genuinely don’t know whether the UK’s infrastructure has quietly regressed, whether people have collectively gone soft, or whether Health & Safety has simply been allowed to run wild across the country. As I write this, I’m looking out at a light dusting of...
