Tales from a down-shifted family

My new fish-tank is coming on well. Not too many occupants yet as I’m more interested in creating a natural looking picture with lots of plant growth. Here’s a photo of the progress so far. The plants are doing well due to the bright lights, CO2 and nutrients. Once the light have been on for...
In case you hadn’t noticed, Christmas is just around the corner, so last weekend was spent doing the now customary ‘Cole Family Xmas Tree Hunt’.
