Sally and I are doing our best to be green. We’ve very aware of green issues and what the scientists say, but we also just think that it makes sense to do it. Using less energy is cheaper and uses less of the finite resources of the earth. It makes sense to reduce consumption, reuse […]
Still way behind on the blog (I have lots of back-dated posts to write up), but it’s just not a priority right now. I did want to quickly give an update on the garden, as this is something that IS taking up a lot of our time and IS a priority. We now have three […]
This is a bit of a multi-purpose Blog/Email/Journal type entry that will probably pop up in various places – apologies if you come across it twice. A while back I mentioned something that was going on that I couldn’t really mention. Well, now I can mention some more, though I will have to remain a […]

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 […]
