Garden Panorama’s

I probably should have waited for a sunny day to do this, but here are a few panoramic shots of our garden this week. It looks nice like this.

Anniversary ‘Day Out’

It was our 13th Anniversary on Monday so we both took the day off. We couldn’t quite decided where to go so in the end plumped for a lunch out in Aberystwyth followed by some retail therapy and a nice dinner at home. So after seeing Morgan off to school we had a slow start...

It’s still very wobbly and still difficult to remount. My chest still hurts too though. Maybe a couple of sessions...

How To Turn Traveling Into An Experience

Planning a vacation is fun and exciting, but it’s also a lot of work. That’s why you should focus on turning your escape into an experience, instead of looking at it like a lot of little logistics. Preparing for the big picture will allow you to have a more enjoyable time once you’ve arrived. Before...
