More Bargains with Quidco
I took the plunge the other day and ordered the Garmin Fenix 3 watch that I’ve been wanting for a while to replace my Forerunner 910XT. It’s a ridiculous amount of money for a watch, especially as I wanted the Sapphire Glass version with the new ‘Run’ Heart Rate Monitor Strap, but it’s nice to treat…
Website Redesign
I hope you’re liking the new look of our Simple Life of Luxury website redesign. I decided it was time for a revamp and an opportunity to make the site more responsive and therefore mobile friendly. I also wanted to make it look a little more modern, bright, cheerful and provide more emphasis on the images...
Aquascaping Update
Just another quick aquascaping update I could be imagining it, but I’m sure there are some new shoots of Eleocharis popping up here and there.
Stripey Blue Toenails
Hooray…. I’ve got stripey blue toenails.
Springtime Chainsaw Massacre
This weekend saw the first proper Springtime assault on the garden. Gorgeous March weather with plenty of sunshine and very little wind saw the temperatures creep up close to double figures. Anna was working all day Saturday and I spent the day trying to get the garden under control. I had planned on sorting...
The Eclipse from Aberystwyth

Aberystwyth Bands Concert
[dropcap]J[/dropcap]ust a couple of photos from the concert at the Arts Centre that we went to last night. First up was the Aberystwyth Youth Schools Band. We knew a few of the children playing in the band, and who knows maybe one day Morgan will be joining them. Next up was a rendition of ‘The Incredibles’ by...
Out Apiary Woes
Unfortunately the news from the out apiary isn’t quite so good… The larger of the two colonies seems OK. I didn’t check them properly but there were definitely bees in there so I gave them a good feed and left them to it. The smaller hive that we had to move here over the winter didn’t look promising though...
First Look at the Bees
At last, the temperature made it into double figures this morning although it has dropped again now to 9.7ºC. I have loads to do in the garden and just about managed to squeeze in some time out there today. The first job was to dig out the compost bins and bag up the compost ready for...
