Amazon.co.uk Widgets Continuing my research and plans to start beekeeping, I attended a meeting of the Aberystwyth & District Beekeepers Association on Sunday. It was a gorgeous day for it, hot sunny and still. We met at a members house where she has a number of beehives – probably abut 15 , plus chickens, geese,...
It looks as though summer is here, if only for the weekend. Yesterday was hot and sunny with a light NE breeze in the morning and then a NW seabreeze in the afternoon. Not quite enough wind for windsurfing – even with big kit – so I had a nice MTB ride around the Summit...
Saturday in the ‘big smoke’ (or close to it) and Anna wanted to go to Ikea. It was nice day so on the way we stopped off at a couple of garden centres on the A38. The first was Eastwood Garden Centre which was a nice, well laid out independent garden centre with nice healthy...

Morgan’s school was closed on Thursday as it was being used as a polling station, so we decided to make the most of the opportunity and Anna and I took the day off too. We decided that it would be the perfect day to head the the Blue Lagoon, a water-park on the edge of...
Morgan and I wandered across to the beach to help with the Borth & Ynyslas Beach Clean yesterday. Dave & Sarah organise these on a fairly regular basis and recently for various reasons such as being away, children’s parties, too windy etc. etc. we’ve been unable to help out so it was good to be...
As you may have read in a previous post I’ve been wanting to transform the garden a little and give it a garden makeover. Rather than just a piece of grass surrounded by shrubs and flowers I want to create a garden that leads you on and encourages to explore a little further. I want...
