Mmmm, Home made chilli jam from homegrown chillies! I think Anna wants to make some green chilli jam next. I think we should do red, orange and green and make traffic light chilli jam. That would make nice Christmas presents. So those of you who get Christmas presents from us, you have been warned! Don’t...
Well, it feels as though summer is coming to an end. There’s only a few days left of the school holidays, we’ve just had a fairly damp August Bank Holiday weekend and there are only 120 days until Christmas! We didn’t let the change in the weather dampen our spirits though and managed some family...
Our family summer holiday moved into it’s next phase, following on from cycling to John O’Groats to Lands End and then a day or two on Bodmin Moor we were now at my parents house in South Gloucestershire for a couple of days. We arrived at around lunchtime on Wednesday afternoon and had arranged for...

That was quite a weekend! Dominated by our 10th Wedding Anniversary celebrations. We decided ages ago that we’d like to have a bit of a party for our 10th anniversary and get people together so that we’d remember it. You know how these things are, a simple barbeque in the back garden was planned, nothing...
Phew, we have been busy! It was our 10th wedding anniversary the other day so we’re throwing a bit of a garden party. Guests have been invited and many are coming from far afield so we though we should make an effort as well. I’ve been working on the garden for weeks in preparation for...
Day 5 of my trip to Kitzbuhel and with my bike in transit back to Wales I’d have to rely on my feet for entertainment and transport today. I was up early, 3am to be exact so went for a nice early morning run at around 5am. Running Kitzbuhel There are loads of really well-marked...
