It’s a great alternative to formal dinners, especially if guests are expected to have dinner plans after the party or have...
Well, seeing as I’m out of action again thanks to an ankle injury I thought it was time for a progress report on my Coast Path capers. Regular readers will know that my plan to run the entire Coast Path of Wales soon involved the Offa’s Dyke Trail as well. This meant I could close...
Yeah, you know what this means don’t you? You lucky people are going to get to see more photos of my feet! Bet you can’t wait. Since returning home after hurting my ankle on a Coast Path run on Saturday things have improved. It didn’t actually look too bad immediately after the run, there was...
