Hello, I’m Christopher

I don’t know Billy Ocean / I don’t know the ocean floor /
I don’t own any albums / I don’t know anything / I don’t go to college anymore

  • Experience Baffling

    Some words about ads with bizarre slogans I wrote in The Guardian. It’s supposed to be funny. Hopefully.


  • The House By The Lake

    This one was a pleasure to write. I went to visit the Alexanderhaus, formerly the summer house of the writer Thomas Harding’s family and wrote this piece for The Independent. It’s near to Potsdam, by a beautiful lake. Harding wrote the book The House By The Lake about the small building’s big history and later in 2018 it will open as a museum. Go and visit, and read the book. The house (and the lake) inspired me a great deal and you can find this beautiful spot as a location in my current novel (working title: Withdrawal) which I’m writing at the moment. Watch this space for more on that…!


  • Dublin

    Dublin! You are great. Some places you can enjoy when you go…


  • High Lines

    I wrote some words about High Lines around the world in the Telegraph


  • Eat my words

    Water bottles, straws and cutlery you can eat? Environmentally friendly, edible packaging – a future facing design story I wrote for The Guardian
