Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Things are looking OK in my new aquascape. As mentioned last time I seem to be beating the algae which was a bit of an issue for a while. The Endler’s Livebearers seem quite happy in there, as do the shrimps. Although quite how people take photos of their fish I’ll never know. I’ve also...
Things are heating up in the garden.
Hooray…. I’ve got stripey blue toenails.
Sorry to harp on about this, I should probably save my blood pressure, reduce my stress levels and just accept that B&Q are useless, but I don’t like being lied to and I don’t appreciate being told that I’m wrong either. Anyone who knows me will know that I rarely argue and if I do,...

It’s been a busy Spring of beekeeping for us. Not only have we been busy making increase and setting up new out apiaries but we’ve been getting lots of call outs to swarms as well. The Perfect Swarm The first was a lovely swarm in Penparcau. We packed the car with the tools we thought...
Can you run a mile in under 5 minutes? Probably not! Can you down 4 cans of beer in under 5 minutes? Probably not! Can you do both at the same time? I certainly can’t, but the world record for the beer mile has been broken and is now under 5 minutes!
