Weblog as Therapy

Lots of posts end up in the general category – it’s often not the best place for them, but if we forget to assign them to a category this is where they’ll be. I guess really ALL posts should go into the general category.

Looking for More Than Luxury on Luxury Cruises

What does the perfect holiday mean for you? As we highlighted in our article recounting a holiday to Norway, we need little more than a clean, nice-looking hotel, fun water activities, and relaxing excursions. However, the same cannot necessarily be said for everyone else. So, today, we’ll be highlighting luxury cruises with the most unique onboard...

20mph in Wales

I thought I’d wait a while before commenting on the new 20mph speed limits in Wales. At least until I’d had some time to drive in a variety of areas around the country. I’ve now done that and don’t really know what all the fuss is about. Driving around Wales Living in the middle of...

There’s Nothing Like Windsurfing

Annual Leave “Not one, but two of the best windsurf sessions ever!” I still have quite a bit of annual leave to take before the end of the year. I don’t just want to take it for the sake of taking it, but I don’t want to waste it either. It looked set to be...

Cereals

I’ve not long got back from an exhausting couple of days at the ‘Cereals Event’ in Nottinghamshire where I was manning the Biomass Connect stand. I know I don’t often post about work-related things, but as this was a little different and I had some photos I thought I would. It was tiring thanks to...

New Feel Conservatory 1

A Conservatory Makeover

We’ve had our conservatory since 2011. It’s a useful room, but as with most conservatories it gets too hot in the summer and it’s freezing cold in the winter. Time therefore to do something about it. We did look into having a completely new tiled roof fitted but that was quite expensive. Instead we decided...

Power Supply Problems

We always have issues with the power supply here. Bird strikes often take it out completely for a day or two, there are constant brown-outs, we have powercuts if it’s cold or windy, the power seems to dim somewhat at 9 pm every night, and if there are any problems anywhere on the local network...
