  • 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

  • Pumped Out – Further Delays

    The title not only refers to this delayed post but another setback in the British Gas air source heat pump saga. The workshop was cleared out. The walls stripped. The shed re-organised. The tent pitched and ready accomodate a good proportion of the contents of the house. What could go wrong? It was too good…

  • Every Day I’m Travelling

    At least that’s what it feels like at the moment. I just got back from Brussels, had a week at home, then headed out to Paris for a week at Disneyland. A Big Old (New) Tent In preparation for our glorious British summer which always provides wall to wall sunshine, we’ve bought a tent. Not…
