  • 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

  • Back in Hot(ish) Water

    More heat pump stuff. Stay tuned for some truly hot takes, but first, something completely similar to previous posts… Another Project! I have been on the lookout for a suitable desk for Sarah’s sewing machines and craft equipment for a little while now. I was leaning towards buying an oak worktop and making it myself…
