Father’s Day – Up a Pole and Down a Hole

Well, I’ve spent most of Father’s Day either up a pole or down a hole. I did go for a lovely open water swim in the sea first, but then it was all work in the garden. Up a Pole I was up the pole in order to replace the anemometer on the Borth and...

I’ve just come across a photo of the water feature in our garden from November 2010 so thought I’d take a photo of it today for comparison. Strange to think that in just 90 days it could go from what it is now to the slightly colder looking version on the right. I guess that...

A Productive Day

What a productive day we’ve had today. I was up at 4am to investigate the contents of the moth trap. I then did a little bit of work and then after coffee and a quick catch up with Anna and Morgan it was time to start tackling the garden. It wasn’t that bad out there...
