Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just as we thought the bees in our out apiary were doing well, we get this EFB Disease alert from the National Bee Unit. The bees and survived well over the winter and we were pleased with the fact that we had been able to split them early to hopefully pre-empt any swarming. They have loads...
Racing in Triathlons tends to take us to places we haven’t been before, and St. Neots in Cambridgeshire was one of these places. We drove down after school and work on Friday evening and arrived at a nearby Premier Inn which was to be our bed for a couple of nights. It was quite late...
St Neots, in Cambridgeshire, and the British Sprint Triathlon Championships were in town. Once again we found ourselves getting up early in a Premier Inn Hotel room ready to head off to do a fairly high profile race.

Seeing as my last post here was raving about what a nice day it had been for a bike ride, I thought I’d balance thew world with a quick post about yesterdays bike ride. Needless to say, it was a very wet and miserable one! No photos and nothing to rave about, just some more miles...
I can’t run at the moment due to a case of Plantar Fasciitis, so my usual run, swim and bacon sandwich on a Sunday morning has been replaced with a swim, bacon sandwich and a ride instead. It’s not doing much for my running but it does give me an opportunity to do a longer...
