Amarylis
Despite not having been watered for at least 6 months, the Amarylis stared sprouting a few weeks ago, so I fed and watered it and now it has has decided to treat us to a few huge flowers..

Christmas Muffins
Mmmmm, the house is suddenly full of the aromas of Christmas – I know it’s April but I don’t care as it smells scrumptious! It’s all thanks to the orange, cranberry and cherry muffins that I’ve just baked, complete with nutmeg and cinnamon topping. We’re also cooking a turkey, bacon and leek pie which smells pretty Christmassy...
Garmin Connect Updates
I’m not impressed with the new Garmin Connect updates. The calendar part of their online offerings used to be one of the best as far as at a glance viewing of your training was concerned. They had lovely colour coding of different activity types, a brief overview of each of your activities and a weekly...
Rest Day Muffins
It’s a rest day for me today and for some reason on rest days I just can’t stop eating! I don’t know if its because my body is repairing itself and recovering from the training or just because I’ve got more time as I’m not spending half of it swimming, cycling and running, but whatever it...
TrainerRoad TrainerRelay and Workout Builder

Where did we go on a Wherigo Cache?
It was our final day on the Isle of Man today so we only had the morning to play before catching the boat back. The weather was still cold at around 3°C and the wind had picked up to a nice force 6 easterly just in time for the ferry crossing! So as to continue...

Sunday was the final full day of our trip to the Isle of Man and we had several geocaching records that we could try to beat. Number of caches in a day – current record = 15 Number of consecutive days with finds – current record = 6 Most finds in a month – current...
Geocaching and Ice Creams
Saturday was another glorious day on the Isle of Man. Still cold but sunny and the wind had finally eased a little. I started the days activities with a bike ride around the TT course whilst Anna and Morgan went to visit James and Donna. It’s a shame I didn’t get to catch up with...
The Geocaching Continues
We’ve just hit day 10 of our consecutive days geocaching streak… So I thought I’d upload a new version of our stats seeing as we’ve been so prolific over the past few days. There are two versions of the stats both of which show our caching endeavours up to today. Click here for version 1...
Early Moths
Not much in the moth trap today, just a solitary Early Grey. But that’s the first moth of 2013 in the trap – Admittedly it hasn’t been out much but previous attempts so far this year had so far proved fruitless.
