Creativity, curiosity, and code
Sally’s been Freecycling! Freecycling is a term used for giving old stuff away. Internet groups exist, usually for a given location, such as a town. People post on these groups messages to say “I’m giving something away” and others respond to the group with “Yes, I’ll have that please”, and then they come round and […]
I wanted to write a short tribute to a man, a legend to those who knew him, who has inspired me on a bit of my life journey. Peter Amey died on the 4th April after a long and difficult fight with cancer. He was stoic throughout and his Blog, if it’s still there when […]
The songs have really fallen behind in a big way. Other things have just been more inportant of late. BUT – the songs are back on my list this week and this is a special! A while ago a friend of ours who’s heading out to Kenya on a mission trip this summer, asked if […]
We were at a wedding yesterday and had the fortune of staying over with good friends. Friends that we know REALLY well and easily slip into deep conversation with. While we were there someone mentioned that they miss this deep conversation and that they wished they were better at using email to prompt discussion on […]
Off to the Lakes…on our own! So, after a long, hard start to the year we had an enjoyable Easter at home followed by a little holiday. Easter had proven to be cold and damp – even snow was around in northern England! So we approached a hill walking holiday with a little anticipation. Especially […]

With the longer days and the arrival of British Summer Time I’ve […]
[Sorry for backdating – I’m catching up on posts so these may appear in a bit of a random order] I’m not a big shopper. I don’t hate it, but I mostly buy things because I need them. And when I buy things that I want they’re well thought out and researched so that I […]
I’m beind with updates again, including a big write up of our holiday exploits. It’s been a busy week, and with a 15 hour day at work on Wednesday, I was due a few late morning in, so I’ve been making use of my longer, 8.5 mile commute to work. I’ve had two little incidents […]
It’s been a while and we’re off on holiday tomorrow so here’s a few thoughts to jot down before I go. Easter and “The Passion” It’s Easter Sunday. Easter is obviously a hijacked pagan festival – witness the eggs and bunnies that symbolise new life as spring approaches – heck the date of easter even […]
