At the end of 2012 I wrote my customary post that looked back on the last year as well as looking forward to 2013. At the end of that post I wrote down some things I’d like to make some improvements to. I thought that the middle of the year was a good point to

Farmageddon 2013
On Saturday I did the most physically demanding thing I’ve ever been involved with.

Ah…the obligatory end of year, start of year post! This time last year I was writing about how challenging 2010 had been. I’m pleased to report that on the whole 2011 didn’t throw up as many major problems as the previous year. We’ve settled quite nicely into our new house, Bryony’s hearing didn’t get any

Do Something That Scares You
Has it really been a month since my last blog post? I seem to be in one of those busy periods at the moment where days and weeks seem to fly past! I’ve had this post written in my head for a while but not actually typed it up yet but since it’s Friday afternoon
