First day of the half term and as I have no work on, Morgan is staying at home with me in order to save on child-care costs. Not wanting to sit around the house all day I’d managed to get him excited about heading out to do some geocaching. So, after some breakfast we packed...
I guess it helps if your feet match fairly well. It’s not essential, but it doesn’t do too much harm. Mine had been a little uneven for a while. My right big toe had most of its toenail missing for some reason and my left ankle had been sore and a little swollen since I...
I know we like living in Ynyslas but I think sometimes people don’t always agree. To be honest we don’t mind what other people think and if everyone wanted to live where we do it wouldn’t be as nice as it is. However I’ve just come across this article from Wales Online which confirms what we’ve...
Fed up with posting the same stuff to Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Me too, in fact I barely bothered with Google+ as I couldn’t be bothered to post there as well as elsewhere, but I’ve just come across a Chrome Plugin that not only allows me to see everything from my Facebook Stream and Twitter Stream...

I had a look, you can see the prize here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/castlevision/6153184344/in/photostream I am indeed a tombola prize, or at least, a photo of me is.
Anna’s old Nissan Micra has gone, and has been replaced with a nice new (to us) Honda Jazz. We didn’t take months to decide on a car either this time. Anna decided one day that it was time for a new one – her old one was very old and falling apart. She then popped...
On our way home from Dartmoor, we stopped off in Bovey Tracy at the House of Marbles. It was a slightly odd place, but then anywhere that is dedicated to marbles is going to be. They had some huge marbles and marbles of all kinds in the museum, along with lots of mesmerising marble runs....
