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.

As an antidote to the dire weather the South West has been experiencing over the last weeks and months, we took a trip out to Albufeira in the Algarve for four nights. I have never been interested in package holidays. In fact, I have actively resisted them. We did a Haven holiday to Brittany when…

Time Out
And now begins five weeks free from work. Whatever will we do? We have embarked upon a five week stretch of work-free bliss. There are a bunch of little trips planned and some time around the house to get stuff done. Newforge Workshop Since migrating my business to the mainland, I haven’t had much time…

Bean to Cup?
More like Bank to Box to Bean to Cup. Scratch that. Birth to Business to Bank to Box to Bean to Cup, if we’re being accurate about it. Yes, this is my first foray into the world of Bean to Cup coffee machines after exploring Aeropress, a manual espresso machine (Saeco Poemia), the V60, mokka,…
