The Christmas festivities continue here. We’ve already had a birthday meal for my Mum’s 60th last week and a Christmas Carvery with my family. Last night we had a another celebratory meal, this time with the Aberystwyth Beekeepers Association. It was also my birthday yesterday so it doubled as a birthday meal as well. We...
The lights are up, so here’s the obligatory shot of the tree… Xmas is coming!!!
With only 2 weeks to go until Christmas Eve, we’ve just returned from a weekend away in Bristol and the first of our Christmas celebrations. The weekend started when school finished on Friday and we started our drive to my parents house. It was my Mum’s 60th birthday so we were meeting up with all...
Morgan got his kid wood construction set out the other day and with a little bit of help from Anna they soon built a pretty impressive looking T-Rex. It’ll live with the Pterodactyl that he and I built earlier in the year. Hope you like it. In this photo you can even see what Morgan thinks are...

We usually have a rule in our house that the Christmas decorations can’t go up until after my birthday on the 11th December. However, after our Christmas weekend away and the fact that lights were popping up everywhere, I was beginning to feel in the Christmas spirit so couldn’t wait to get them up. Morgan...
This year for our Christmas family gathering we all headed off to the Forest of Dean. First we had a very nice and very large lunch in the Miners Arms and then went to Clearwell Caves to visit Santa. The caves are actually a combination of natural caves and extensive mine workings. The mining dates...
