On the Road Again
The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

Gardening and a (It’ll be) Grand Tour
I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)
*The undead monster, not the drink. Hokum May is traditionally known as the most terrifying of months. Tempting us with near 20 degree heat, followed by a drop in temperature and torrential rain. What better way to celebrate the season than with a horror film! Hokum stars Adam Scott as a self-loathing asshole of a…

Illness and poor weather conditions have stopped me from diving in the…

A few short weeks ago I was looking out at a rain-drenched hodge-podge. Things have changed a tad. It has been weeks in the making and there’s still some landscaping work to do on the patio, but the frame is finally ready to use. The woodchips are laid to a depth of about 20cm providing…

Building Frames, Breaking Earth, and Barbecue
The last couple of weeks have been dominated by the delivery of our Growplay climbing frame. Building it was easy. Sorting the play area is another matter… My plan to have all the ground work done before building the frame didn’t quite happen. The frame components arrived last Friday, but the sleepers and stones were…

Garden Clearing and Good Food
The weather has been…interesting, as of late. Getting stuff done outside has been a challenge but thankfully the weekend brought sunshine. The latest project involves building a big play area which will replace most of the old patio. If you remember from last year, I lifted a lot of the slabs to build the base…
