Beekeeping – What Equipment do I Need? – The Hive
My plans to start beekeeping are progressing. I’ve been doing lots of research into the equipment I’ll need and whether or not our garden will be a suitable location for the bees. I’m not sure about the latter yet and want some advice from an experienced beekeeper first, but as far as the equipment goes...
The Best Day to Visit the Blue Lagoon
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...
Building a Raised, Graveled Seating Area
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...
Beekeeping in West Wales
Amazon.co.uk Widgets I’ve wanted to become a beekeeper for a while now, but as with many things such as this the barriers of entry are quite high. First, there is a lot to learn and it is a little daunting. Not only is there a whole new vocabulary to learn, but there are techniques and...
A ‘Proper’ Bank Holiday Weekend – Garden DIY
I don’t normally do Bank Holiday weekends as I never used to have the chance. When I worked as a Zookeeper then Bank Holidays were always very busy so there was no chance of a day off. The same was true whilst I was a Beach lifeguard in North Devon, and as a student in...
Preparing for my iPad – Google Mail and Calendar
I still don’t know if I’m going to get an iPad yet or wait for iPad 2.0, but I thought I’d start preparing for it anyway. At the moment I tend to work from my desktop iMac and therefore only occasionally need to access e-mails and such like from other computers. When I do need...
Catching up with the rest of the World
Anna’s Mum was here for a few days, so as usual we made the most of the offer of a babysitter and organised a rare night out. We went to see Avatar in 3D at the Arts Centre Cinema in Aberystwyth. The film was good, the special effects are of course pretty spectacular, but I...
Building Raised Beds for Vegetables
The glorious spring weather enticed me to do yet more work in the garden at the weekend. The main part of the garden is looking fine, all weeded and ready to go with many of the plants springing into life so the beds and borders will be full to bursting before long. The climbing plants...
My own Private Alp D’Huez
The triathlon looms ever closer and Jay, Brad, Matt and Beale all seem to be doing loads of secret training, so I thought I’d better get out there on my road bike again to get used to it. Last time I went out on the road bike it was OK, but I didn’t feel that...
