If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

  • Once More with Gusto (and Games)

    This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

It wasn’t sunny… Some Serious Islands The Isles of Scilly lie off the coast of Cornwall and are accessible by ferry, plane, and helicopter. We opted for the ferry from Penzance to St Mary’s island as the most reasonably priced option,…

  • Reach for the (Pole)stars

    It’s time to fire up the motors! Typical of any life event in England, it started with a rainy day. I patiently awaited a call about the delivery of my Polestar 2, hoping that it wouldn’t be cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. I had driven over an hour back to Plymouth the night before to…

  • Sun? In England? You must be mistaken

    Yes, Plymouth has seen about 24 hours of sun, uninterrupted by rain. This is a complete departure from recent weeks and months, and triggered a specific reaction seen within a proportion of the population…gardening. This year I’m behind (am I behind if I’m behind every year?) in the garden department. I’ve cleared out one raised…
